Keypunch for 96 column cards?

Ok gang,
  A discussion over the last few days got me thinking, so I need some
assistance here.

IBM introduced the 96 column 'soda-cracker' punch cards (example on my web
pages if you need a bit of memory jogging) as the new form when they
introduced the 'System 3' computer series.

Now, while the System 3 had a reader/punch for these cards, I can't for
the life of me ever remember seeing a stand-alone keypunch unit for this
format card.

So, the question(s): was there such a thing, what was the model number,
and has anyone seen one in the Oregon area that might be obtainable???

(and... since I missed the last one to come by... has anyone seen an IBM
129 keypunch (std. 80 column cards) in the Oregon area that might be
obtainable?)

Thanks
-jim
