If you can't do it with 12bits and 4K what's the point. If you haven't used paper tape, how do you realize what a program really
is?

I can't remember anymore what the word size of the IBM 1401
was. I recall we had 4K words of memory. I *think* it was
12 bits, because we used punch cards, which have 12 rows on
them. So I think 12 bits was right. And it was true core,
little magnetic doughnuts. We had no assembler and certainly
no compiler for that machine. We did machine language.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
