'Screen Addressing in FREEWAY' seems to have links in it, but they didn't work in the copy on GitHub. I found some copies of the 'IMLAC PDS-1D Programming Guide', and added them to 'External links' here, but I couldn't figure out what the later links were supposed to go to.

Storage devices

I did have paper tape. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 18:39, 19 December 2018 (CET)

Right, but that's not mass storage (which means disk or tapes). None of the ones at Tech Sq had that, or paper tape (although I might be wrong about the latter), although I see online that they did make disks available later - they even had a FORTRAN compiler than ran on them!
