My high school had(still has?) an 1130 with 4K 1402reader/punch and an 1132
printer.  I couldn't get enough info on this baby.  I even wrote IPL cards
for the thing.  One card into the hopper IMM STOP, RESET, PROG LOAD,  in goes
the card.  There were a few that I created (no easy job getting the multiple
punches necessary for one of those things) one turned the console into a 
card punch so you could use the machine for something if your disk was out.

I even made one that looked like the COLD START card but instead if you put
a deck behind it, it would punch out all the holes in your deck.  The punch
almost never got beyond the //job //for //ioctl ... cards (people would 
always remove their deck from the hopper). The resultant chips were always 
great at parties though.
