Odd, this machine seems a bit large to me to be a standard desktop machine. 
Maybe built into a desk... but a desktop?

Yes, this machine has software on it to interface to Wang VS hosts.

But more interesting to me, I noticed that I could boot to a different 
partition when the machine is in "bios". On that partition is a full 
development suite, including basic interpreter, basic compiler (both 
microsoft), Assembler (Microsoft I think), and Pascal compiler. Fun stuff.

It may be available at some point, especially if you have some interesting 
stuff to trade :D
