If you need one of these, I can send you a copy.

If you have one that's not on the list, or a newer edition of one that is, I'd like a copy. If you have scanned a manual or drawing, I'd like an electronic copy. I can put a link to it here if you want me to.

I have a copy of the diagnostics manual. The file dmanhtm.tar.gz is just an HTML table of contents for the GIF images in the two directories. I got it from Paul Pierce's web site.


Al Kossow has some scanned 1401 documents


I borrowed some documents from Dick Weaver but I haven't copied most of them yet.


The box from Dick Weaver also contained numerous documents that are not reference manuals.


Rudolf Giehl has sent me images of a 1401 code card, in German.
Henk Stegeman sent me copies of the flow charts for the 1401 emulator that was in the microcode for IBM 360/30 computers.
I've removed my address because of all the spam I get, but you might try
