Thats a slightly older version. IBM manuals started
out with numbers like
"ANN-MMM-VV". I think the letter defines the manual type, most of the ones I
have are "C" which I think are general user manuals, "Y" is an
internals
manual, "A" seems to be hardware , "NN" defines the product, so VM
are 20,
OS/360 are 28, S/360. The next four identify the manual and the last one is
the version. Some time after S/360 came out they added an extra letter on
the front, so "G" manuals are general distributed, "S" manuals were
only
available to licensed users and there are more for "Internal Use Only"
manuals.
So the one on E-Bay was "H20-0205-3" , which is issue "3" of the SSP
manual.
The one I have is "GH20-0205-4" so its later as its Version 4 and its got
the "G" for a general release manual...
but I bet you al knew that...
Well, no, I didn't, but I was puzzled that you asked me what version
mine was, when the eBay listing contained the IBM code - H20-0205-3.
Anyway, I think I now have 2 takers for the CDC one and one for the
IBM one -- if you do still want the older one, Dave? AFAICS you're in
Manchester, so UK postage shouldn't be too bad...
