THE WANGG 2200 SERIES WAS A SUCCESSFULL COMPUTER LINE OVER 10 YEARS BEGINNING FROM MULTI PURPOSE SINGLE USER MACHINES REACHING TO MULTI USER COMPUTER SYSTEMS. ALL KIND OF PERIPHERIAL UNITS WERE AVAILABLE. THIS WANG 2200 C2 IS ONE OF THE EARLY MODELS (1ST GENERATION CPU) NOT HAVING A SINGLE CHIP PROCESSOR, BUT A SET OF TTL EQIPPED BOARDS. IT MADE THE FORERUNNER IN HAVING BASIC AS OS WRITTEN IN ITS ROM CHIPS LIKE ALL LATER "HOME" COMPUTERS (APPLE, TANDY RADIO SHACK, COMMODORE,...)!
