This is the at top of my list. It's going to be a USB-2 channel 
driver (talks to peripherals). Have the design done but have't 
started building it. Immediate goal is testing of channel interfaced 
devices to help cull the collection of big iron, secondary goal is 
operation of the devices from Hercules.  

Speaking of USB-to-X interfaces, where X is pecular, thanks, Sellam 
for the plug for my USB-to-Documation interface. I'm thinking of 
building two more copies, another for me and another for the museum. 
Is anyone else interested in one? If so I'll do up a PC board instead
of wire-wrapping, and we can share the production cost. Let me
know by private email.

PS - APL\1130 was mentioned recently. We have the source
on punched cards. I've read it in but there were a couple of errors
which is why it's not published on ibm1130.org yet. Also, it appears 
to have been modified (slightly) to run on the IBM 1800.
