Wang VS5660

Donated April 2025

This system is VS 5600 10-slot mini-tower chassis with a P/N 210-9156-10A CP9 CPU. The CP9 CPU bus is 32-bita wide and the I/O is 16/32-bits.

There is a single floppy diskette drive in the front of the chassis. The streaming magnetic tape drive that is usually under for cover at the front of the chassis is missing, and the SCSI disk drives that are usually installed in the back of the chassis are missing. It has an ESMD disk controller installed, so it might have been used with only external ESMD disks.

Status:

The power supply does not turn on.

To-Do:

• Fix the power supply.

• Find the  Quad-Panel Cable P/N 421-0112 serial cable that connects an asynchronous 2210 terminal to the RCU.

• See if we can find or make a Y Cable, P/N 220-0666 BNC to BNC/RNC console cable for the SIO.

The slots in the rear of the chassis are numbered 0-9 going from left to right.
