Good to hear there some other 1130 fans out there!

I should have added that we have ten disk cartridges with our 1130.
One is labeled "IBM Only" and we hope it's a CE disk. We didn't
find any punched card based software other than four IPL (boot) cards.
One is labeled "APLIPL" and we have an APL typeball, so we think
one of the cartridges has APL on it. However, we're a long way from
trying to spin it up to see if the disks are still readable after
what must be 20 years.

We also have the maintenance manuals and schematics, but
no diagnostic software listings. We'd be interested in getting
copies of anything you get scanned or OCR'd, Hans.
Norm is setting up a boffo website for it all. A grand
opening announcement will be coming soon!

And as for Jonathan's observation:

> Oh my, an 1130! I don't think we've ever encountered such a severe case of

I don't think we can claim to have the worst case around here, no sirreee.
On the other hand, Norm was suggesting that we port the 1130 emulator
to the Palm platform and ...
