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.

Ship me your your addr privately and I'll send you this copy of
"IBM 360 Programming and Computing" Golden and Leichus (1967)
Its 340 pages with some cool appendices with all the instruction
sets, condition codes, etc.
I'm starting to think that my expectations of My Very Own 360
system might not materialize :} so if you want it, 'tis yours.
Cheers

Hey, I have that book too! I got it in about 1975. It served as my guide as
a wrote my own FORTRAN compiler. A very clear book, although the hand-drawn
tables made it look a little unprofessional.
