Oh yes, now I finally know where my paper tape reader came from!
I've had an optical paper tape reader for about fifteen years; I got it
with my first pdp8/e from a really nice guy in NJ. I knew it was an HP
unit, but it's missing most of its outer covers. The fellow built an
interface board for it on a piece of perfboard, and it connects to a
Positive I/O Bus Interface board in an 8/e. It works very, very well.
I just got it out of storage (hadn't seen it for about ten years) a few
days ago.
