There might be a reader somewhere. If anybody has (or developes) an
803B emulator, it would be nice to have the compiler.
Paul Pierce read several IBM 1401 tapes. The Computer History Museum in
Mountain View, CA has two operating 1401s, and the SimH project has an
emulator. It's nice to have the Autocoder assembler, FORTRAN II and
FORTRAN IV compilers, COBOL compiler, … to use. There are students at
San Jose State University who go to classes in 1401 programming at CHM.
Maybe Paul has a paper tape reader too.
