Anyone familiar with Wang OIS internals?

Similar to my 16x8 bit ram on the top 4 bits of a Z80, allowed 1MB as a set of 256 x 4K 'pages' any of which could be mapped anywhere in the Z80 64k space.
Quite good for running MP/M.

Any reply from Jim Donohue? - I looked on Linkedin, there's 100s of them...
 
Nope, nothing yet. The 1K bank size worked well for us, as almost everything was written in our own compiled multi-user BASIC. Since it was a p-code affair, we could swap in pages as needed. We were still using 16Kbit DRAM at the time we brought the bankswitching model out in 1979, so there was a practical limit to what could be put on a Multibus-sized PCB.
Anyone can register with LinkedIn, BTW.
