A buddy of mine came through today with some stuff he'd been talking about
for months. In exchange for a place-mat-sized fan-folded UNIX "pocket guide"
from 1984, he gave me a 360 reference card (IBM p/n
X20-1703-4) and another
artifact that I'd only ever _heard_ of before - a data
cell (i.e., a noodle
from an IBM noodle picker/stuffer). It's much
larger than I anticipated -
over 2" x 12".
Between the reference card and the textbook I have (Saxon, Englander and
Englander, "System 360 Programming, A Self-Instructional Manual", Prentice-
Hall, Inc, 1968) I'm almost ready to try out that 360 emulator.
