The OIS was a dedicated WP system which was capable of supporting several screens. The co-axial ports at the rear linked to the various monitors and printers, taking two co-ax ports per terminal. The system was a close relative of the VS series of mini-computers. The VS & OIS were definitely at the top of the IT tree from the late 1970s through the 1980s. Superb machines in their day.

I'm really digging the red LEDS on the case. I wish I could find an old retro case like that and just install a modern system in it for fun.

The OIS (Office Information System) was more like a minicomputer system that was primarily used for multi-user word processing in the '80s. Up to 24 terminals can be connected to that box using dual-coax cabling.

@Maxxarcade Don't take the video down. Just put a note saying that you don't have it anymore

hearing the sound of the hard drives starting up.. priceless

Too bad you don't have a monitor. I just got rid of all of my OIS software disks (8" and 3-1/4") last year. Didn't think anyone would possibly want or need it. One of the field utility disks enabled all of the programming languages available on OIS's - COBOL, LISP, Assembler, Pascal, and more. The OIS line was a good one.

dont take down the video! even though you dont have the server anymore you might as well leave the video up.

Wow, I used to work with Wang computers back in the early 80's. I think it was an OIS 140. Wang was so far ahead of their time.

What a relic! Amazing that it still fires up.

Hey Maxx, where do you get these vintage computers? I'm in Australia. Looking to buy an older computer and having some fun with it.

I find them in the trash, at yard sales, etc.
