I started my development work on this model in Czechoslowakia in 1980. At that time it was very difficult to by any devices from the “WEST” so when we had foud a bulgarian magnetic tape which was more or less a copy of the original Wang model I created my own magnetic tape controller for this bulgarian tape recorder. Later I connected 8 simle monitors CM7202 via serial interface and I created software which enables to entering date for 8 operators simultanously using the memory od the CM7202 and and then transfering data do magnetic tape of DE520.
This was made in America, in Ann Arbor, MI. And marketed in America as the Sycor 340.It was used in car dealerships and related business, like Chrysler Credit and insurance brokerages.
