I just acquired what I believe to be an early 'green card'. It's actually a white booklet, GX20-1727-5, 20 pages (back cover is page 20). =20 Title is IBM System/360 Reference Card - System/360 Model 20 I remember hearing/reading some trivia that the original 'green card' was white. Looks like the same format as more recent cards. List of instructions much shorter that the GX20-1703 cards. Can anyone confirm/deny that this is a predecessor to the more familiar foldout cards GX20-1703 series? <snip> No, you have one of the replacement booklets. The S/360-20 ref summary was a yellow card, similar to the S/360 larger systems "Green" card. I used to have one, but someone stole it out of my desk some years ago. I ordered a replacement and got the booklet (which has since come up missing -- but I'll probably find that one once I get done unpacking -- just moved to TX from OH).
