Per the link below, it mentions a reference manual to IBM's BASIC for the
System/3 as part number GC34-0001-1 but that no digital copies are known
to exist.

I know at VCF East they've been trying to restore one of these. Not sure
if any functional system still exists (especially probably not the Model 6
with CRT and disk drive).
Anyway, if anyone happens to have the physical manual described above, I'm
just curious if in the first few pages was it publication date? (before or
after 1970?)
Also - since IBM went out of their way to re-use the BASIC from the
System/3, does that imply there was never a variation of BASIC written for
the IBM 360/370? (asking because from my understanding, the System/3 was
a lot more difficult to program and operate -- and yet someone wrote a
BASIC interpreter for it).
