Paper Tape Reader

Model PTR 61c

James Larson shares with us not only the original circuit but also how this vintage  tape reader can be interfaced to an IBM PC!

        The IBM contract to replace the ERMA systems had a delivery
penalty.    IBM was to pay the ERMA maintenance until their system was up
and running.

        For 18 months I had the monthly joy of phoning IBM and dunning them
for payment of the $250,000 monthly bill.   Today, it's hard to conceive of
such amounts.
