I never used COBOL on the 150x machines, all of our stuff was done in EBB
(Extended Business Basic), which was a rather bletcherous language IIRC. I
must admit, I'm rather surprised to learn that something as big a COBOL
would fit on the machine.

Since you are all talking COBOL now :
ftp://ftp.dreesen.ch/ICL1501
There is the manual for the early 70?s COBOL implementation for the
ICL1501, a small 8K or 16K TTL based personal computer ( TTL based CPU,
with 2x 74181 ALU and a 32x8 CRT display)
Not the best of scans, but that alas reflects the material I have.
Some other doku on the ICL1501 is also included : an operator guide and
tape utilities user guide.
I do have the tape with the COBOL itself, alas no way yet of gettig it on
modern hardware.
And if anyone has dokumentation on the ICl1503 or 1501/43, in particular
the Diablo drive interface then I sure would like to see it !
Have the kontroller, but no documentation...
Al, as always, feel free to add any and all to bitsavers.
