From a conversation elsewhere, where he'd
expressed some interest in this
machine:
I remember us
touching on that machine once before, in offlist emails.
I'd mentioned a book I had, and after that was digging in boxes looking
for it.
Turns out the silly thing is sitting out on a bookshelf, imagine
that! :-)
It's "Programming the IBM 1130" by J. K. Hughes. If you want it or
know of someone who does, let's talk...
I have it! I scoured Alibris looking for anything related to the IBM 1130
and bought everything I could find. Hughes' book is very good. FWIW, there
is a copy at Alibris (used book seller) for $20.00 Maybe you can get a few
bucks for it.

Anybody care to offer me a few bucks for this? I can use all the help I can
get, beyond shipping costs...
