Yesterday I visited the new(ish) Computer Museum at the top of the Grande
Arche de La Defense at Paris. While most of the stuff was of the Commodore
Pet variety, there was one interesting exhibit, an IBM 7040 with 1442 card
reader/punch, 1403 printer (not N1), and a 2311 disk drive. They also have
some ancient IBM hand punches, and the innards of what looks like a 2316 or
3336 disk pack. None of the exhibits are operational, but nevertheless it
is worth a visit if you happen to be in the area.
