Looking for IBM 1401 software

Posted by michael on from the swap-meet dept.

    There's *some* software there. There's also some diagnostics stuff, a simular, and a manual.

    Hit Google. I found references to 1401 software at quite a few places.

    In my opinion.

    Used to be that you could ask for the archival services branch, and they could reproduce all the old 1401, 1620, and 1130 software you could ever want.

    Try news:alt.folklore.computers. Many old IBMers hanging out there, and you might find someone with an archive.
