Now that's an interesting question. Being paper tape, it's from the days
in which you could see a bit with the naked eye. Another industrial
artifact that I have somewhere is a paper tape reader, but it would take
time away from skiing to get it working. Does anybody know if the
Computer History Museum or equivalent has a DEC paper tape reader that
works? I could probably lay it out on a scanner but that would be
tedious. Might actually be best, it's over 45 years old and probably
fragile.
I have a copy of double-sun space war (sorry,
just the binary) for the
PDP-15/GRIN-2 on DEC fan-fold paper tape with the boot loader written
in octal on the leader. Not sure if it's of any use
I'm very interested in this! Is the paper tape readable somehow?
