Just curiousity on my part, but does anybody know of a still running IBM

Yes, apparently the IBM House of Computing in Solingen Germany has an
operational 1130. ACONIT in Grenoble France has a system with a full set
of technical docs and hopes (eventually) to bring it back to life.
There are others, I will let them speak for themselves...
What is your interest?
I may still have the punched cards for my ASM moon lander game that runs on
the console via the lights and switches.
Really just that I was thinking about it. A neat old system. I'd like to
think I kept one of them going due to a fairly extensive fortran program I
wrote to calculate and graph a complicated series of physics ballistics
labs.
