Almost all DEC machines up through early VAX supported card punch
options. They just weren't very common other than on PDP-10.

PDP-8: CP08
PDP-10: CP10 (multiple variants) and CP20
PDP-11 and VAX: CP11
PDP-15: CP15
(also earlier 18-bit machines, and maybe PDP-5, but I don't have
definitive info on option numbers at hand)
