Hi.

I have experience doing this. The data was in Wang PACE databases and was moved to Oracle 7.3. (approximately 300 data files). I am not sure if SPEEDII uses native Wang data storage or its own format but I can help you explore this.

I am a former Wang employee based in New York City. Call or email with further details.
