Not common, but yes:> From: Clem Cole > I just don't remember seeing actual card readers or punches on the > PDP-11s I'm not sure DEC _had_ a card punch for the PDP11's. Readers, yes, the CR11: https://gunkies.org/wiki/CR11_Card_Readers but I don't think they had a punch (although there was one for the PDP-10 family, the CP10). I think the CR11 must have been _relatively_ common, based on how many readers and CR11 controller cards survive. Maybe not in computer science installations, though... :-) Noel
CP11-UP Punch interface for Univac 1710 Card RDR/PUNCH
Before anyone asks, there were also:
CP08-(N,P) (CSS) Data Products Speedpuch 120 100 CPM Punch and controller
CP10-(A,B) MD6011 300 CPM CARD PUNCH & Controller (60,50 Hz)
CP15-(A,B) Ditto for the -15
and
CP20-E (The CP10 for orange boxes)
There were a few other part numbers, especially for the 10/20,
which included various mechanical options - e.g. racks for the
controllers vs. just the controller, colors, etc. What's listed
are the main models for each family.
