The hardware is set out slightly different to what normal MS DOS expects. You wont be able to boot via emulator unless someone has made an emulator for that specific system.
What's interesting about the Wang is those boot disks load a BIOS then boot a special version of MS DOS. I have 2.1 and 3.3.
One of mine has Word Perfect, Lotus 123 etc on it, but I'm not sure if they're custom versions or heavily reliant on compatibility tweaks.
The Wang Professional or APC's are pretty epic machines, fully 16bit, and almost no jumpers in sight. On mine I have one jumper to change hard drive types, and one switch bank to set the serial port speed. I can add or remove RAM without worrying about any settings or jumpers at all. All cards are the same size and mounted nicely, floppy drives have separate connectors per drive, build in BIOS allows you to boot from any device, even the keyboard where you can type in assembler. You can also use the printer or serial port as a screen device (ruined by MS DOS though, which directly pokes the video card).
It's like the IBM PC where cost wasn't a consideration - BUT expensive and heavy and no real aftermarket options I've seen.
If anyone has ideas on how I could backup my hard drive system (e.g. software that 100% uses MS DOS calls, not hardware, to do serial, parallel, or take a giant raw image and split over multiple disks?) I'd be keen to hear. I need to get around to that.
Edit: Link to my post when I found mine, I haven't finished archiving, but if anyone needs something specific - yell out:
