360/30 microcode was in capacitive ROM, implemented using standard-size 
punch cards with little metal rectangles that could be punched out to
make zeroes, sandwiched into metal backplanes. I remember a CE coming
out, running a few cards through a 026 to dup them, then installing
them. He didn't say whether he was repairing bugs in the 360
instruction set, or the 1401 emulation.
