[LUNI] I finally got mainframe linux up #$

[Carey Tyler Schug]

Actually, I do have a device that could be rewired to read one card at a 
time, two passes per card.  It was a card programmer from a Wang 
programmable calculator, it reads every other column of an 80 column 
card, so flip the card over and read the other columns.  It had a big 
fat cable which was cut off, so it would have to be wired up to a matrix 
of parallel input ports.

You had to have a bit of masochism to be a computer person in the early 
days.....
