IBM 709x Documentation
IBM 709/7090/7094 Diagnostics Listings
Here are scans of some of the diagnostics documentation
for the IBM 709 and 7094 in my collection.
They are listed by the diagnostic number, you should be able
to correlate these to the binaries on the cards and tapes
in the Old IBM Software Project section of the site.
They are in PDF format, you will need the free Acrobat Reader from Adobe.
709 Diagnostics
These scans are of the binders of diagnostic listings that
came with the IBM 709.
You can find the diagnostic binaries on the
diagnostic card decks listed here.
(OK, well there aren't actually any 709 scans here yet.)
7094 Diagnostics
These are scans of the binders of diagnostic listings that
came with the IBM 7094.
A few of these diagnostics, especially the one-card programs,
are the same as for the 709 and you will find the cards on the page above.
Many of the rest are on the DIAG1 tape
and on the other tapes listed on the page above.
IBM 709 Module Drawings
Here are some drawings for IBM 709 modules.
Warning: these are extremely large black and white GIF files,
scanned at 300dpi.
And photos for Cory -
They are to satisfy the following request, the modules are in William
Donzelli's collection. Module drawings apparently have a part number
one more than the module part number on the top.
