The IBM stuff consists of some channel-connected readers and punches
(S/360 stuff), as well as some stand alone "unit record" equipment.

The disk is an S/360 era model, requiring the use of a 2841 control unit
(I will be looking for one of those) for channel connection.

The mini is an 1130 system (more properly an 1131), and could be called
IBM's PDP-8.

The best place to learn about older IBM equipment is to get the books
recently published by the MIT Press. One is called "IBMs Early Computers"
and the other is "IBMs System 360 and Early 370 Computers". They are out
of print, but can be found with a little looking.
