Interesting history, but is this really relevant for the LINUX list ?

For uncompressed object desks, location 56 in the next card contained the
next
"loading" instruction if a remember correctly.

With no recollection of an "I" opcode for read, I searched and found
http://1401.org/op-codes/.
You were probably thinking of the clear storage and branch (i.e. /056).

My set and clear wordmark opcodes were either wrong or reverse.

ISTR 'I' was read a card.  Operand A (if present) was the branch
location - boot decks were a succession of 'I056' commands - the boot
deck itself was executed to move its own contents into storage and set
word marks.

On a more relevant topic, the formal Announcement Letter for the
zSeries Linux offering is available:
