• Song of the S360-40 (MP3 audio)

  "Around the seventies a IBM CE entered our office with a bunch of cards that could make music on our S360-40. The only special feature needed was a transistor receiver placed on or near the cpu. Put the cards in the 2540, set the IPL-switches on 00C and IPL. On the 1052 console you only had to type the S360 model number; 30, 40 or 50 as far as I remember. And there was the music... My receiver had a cassette recorder onboard and that cassette was stored all the time somewhere in my house. I found it back some time ago and converted to a mp3 file that I just uploaded. It is not HiFi quality of course, some interference is present. But the nicest thing is, you can HEAR the cards are read in by the 2540! Enjoy listening. — Rob Dieters"
