In the heyday of mainframe computing, a programmer, a systems programmer anyway¹ would have and cherish the Reference Card describing the basic operation of the computer. I hung on to mine and thus can present the Reference cards for the six machines below which like as not came and went before you were born. Until the last '90s I had the iAPX 432 Reference Manuals which I now regret throwing away.

  • 1 Mist 4705: B6800 complete.
  • 23 Frost 4705: IBM 360 complete.
  • 26 Frost 4705: CANDE complete.
  • 26 Blossom 4706: IBM 370 complete.

¹ And in those days any good programmer. Today the analagous thing would be Intel Family Reference Manuals, but I don't believe they have Reference Cards anymore and descending to that level is almost never justified for an application programmer today. If I survive iAPXx86 will display its bones someplace too.
