Hopefully, I'll be able to scan the new additions.

This is also the first program for ILLIAC II that
I have heard of. The museum has a nice collection
of hardware documentation for the II, and some on
the III and IV which I'd like to scan as well.

Wayne also saved a dump of the Illiac I drum onto
paper tape which has been read.

Someone years ago got far enough into a simulation
to say that the drum dump was good, but stopped
returning emails.
