Resources on the IBM 1401

Okay, I was trying to find more information about the IBM 1401, and the bitsavers website again came to the rescue. If you surf over to to their directory of IBM 1401 information, you can find some nifty references. One of the most useful references is 1962 manual Programming the IBM 1401. A somewhat less conversational but perhaps more complete reference is A Guide to 1401 Programming. Another useful reference is this 1401 Data Processing System Reference Card. Armed with this information, can it be long before I write my first 1401 program?

Well, it might be, but who knows?
