There is an emulator for the 1130 at http://ibm1130.org/sim/ ... it includes OS disks and source code, including for the OS (called Disk Monitor Version 2 or DMV2). It will take a bit to get the one at VCF running. Carl Claunch understands this stuff deeply. https://rescue1130.blogspot.com/ is his blog. He is working on one now.

Hi bob: I referred Jeff to you I remembered from years ago that the 1130 was your passion. I found some of the web writtings and work on 1130s and sent them. Thanks for steppping in! Hope to catch up with you soon. We may be restoring the 1130, Jeff has to justify it to the board. I would love to have an operating card puch, reader, and run some demo programs on the 1130... DC

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to find more information about VCF's IBM 1130 than one can find through Google searching. Who out there has knowledge of this machine?

Thanks,

Hi Doug,

I found this short IBM1130 presentation that I put together in 2017.

Gives a few insights into the machine.
