Anybody have a copy of the listing or deck of diagnostic 302 - DIMAL

[Carl Claunch]

My only deck images for DIMAL - deck 302 - are corrupted. 

I would try to fix it using the listing, but for this one diagnostic IBM did not provide the listing in the MDPs.

Yes, I do. How can I get it to you?

I be happy to host the diagnostics on bitsavers.
Looking at the http://bitsavers.org/bits/IBM/1130 directory it
looks pretty sparse.

Is it time to mirror the ibm1130.org contents?
I haven't heard anything from Brian in years.
Was just thinking about all of those card decks they
have that CHM didn't have time/space to deal with.

I'm alive, as is Norm, and while I'm pretty tied up caring for my mom and working full time and Norm is tied up with two small kids and working full time, I would be happy to help get stuff ibm1130 stuff up on bitsavers.

I was just thinking last night about all of those cards still waiting to be read in. It's a huge archive of 1130 civil engineering code (mostly) and more.

There's my M1000 -- which hasn't been spun up in years -- and maybe other easy to read them.

If anyone is interested I'm open to working something out. Saturday pizza-and-read parties or something?

Would this be in the SF Bay Area?  I might be interested if so. [I live in Belmont.]

Hi Brian

"It's a huge archive of 1130 civil engineering code (mostly) and more." 

What programs do you have? Perhaps IBM1130 STRESS - STRuctural Engineering Systems Solver is among them ?

Looking forward for having those card decks read!

Best regards

Hi Carl, All,

I just archived a copy of DIMAL

and a series of test for 1132, disk, 1442,1403 and some other stuff... (i need to make a list)

Is that of any importance ? Is there a public repository for 1130 program ? (particularly fun stuff appropriate for a demo)

(i am a bit far away for the pizza party, greetings from France )

Hi Al

What format would be preferred for uploading card decks like diagnostics to the Bitsavers bits/IBM/1130 directory? 

Many decks have cards in various binary formats which utilize all 12 rows of each column. I store these in the simh binary card format, which is also the format that Brian Knittel established with his Documation card archiving software. That records each card column as a 16 bit word with the bits from most significant recording rows 12, 11, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 followed by least significant bit padding of four 0 bits. As these are written as integers in the native microprocessor running the code, the endian issues may arise. 

I can forward a significant number of card decks for archiving to Bitsavers once we work out the format that you wish for them.

SIMH format would be fine.
I think that is what I ended up using for all of the 1800 cards that I read using
a copy of Brian's reader.

translations of the MIT STRESS program exist for other systems. STRESS-11 for the PDP-11 for example

I regret living so far (Argentina) that makes me impossible to travel for the proposed meeting.

I have a full copy of almost all documentation, photos and (of course) a working version of the simulator.

1130 was the machine of my first job an it is present in my life.

All the best to all,
Carlos
