I am please to report that after 4 years of work by several volunteers the system is now operational and the main restoration activity has now been completed. It is by no means running perfectly as some aspects of the system have problems, and there are still some parts that cannot be tested yet, but all the major components are working together after 30 years in storage.

There is still more I want to do on the system, in particular getting a copy of DMS on a disk pack, and figuring out ways to get data into the system as punching cards in not really an option as cards are getting difficult to get hold of.

If you can help with IBM 2315 disk packs, copies of DMS, have spares / manuals for the system or want further information about the museum or the IBM 1130 restoration please contact me via email: peter.vaughan@tnmoc.org
