Following top post of this reply... There is a doc called 709-7090 General Information Manual D22-6508, which I don't see in bitsavers (I don't have). The operator's guide for 7090 Data Processing System is A22-6535 is on bitsavers, but that's not going to help you much. The big hole in the bitsavers collection for the 709-7090 is A22-6503, the 709-7090 Data Processing System Reference Manual. It's kind of like Gordon Bell's book with a combination of hardware and programming to explain how the system works. I think that's what you want.
Maybe someone has a copy of this? If not I can scan mine. My 7090 is out for repairs anyway so I don't need it at the moment. Those repair guys don't move as fast as they used to. Most of the rest of the docs I have related to 709-7090 are Fortran related. On the back pages of the 709/7090 Data Processing System Bulletins you'll find a bibliography of all 709-7090 publications and their titles.
