I want a piece of the action. I have an 8-channel
paper tape reader and I'm happy to archive any tape you care to bring by.

Paul Pierce just told me that Al Kossow has a paper tape reader at CMH.
CHM can also read 7-track mag tapes on their 1401s.
That's one of the parts I have in my shed :-)
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.
Peter Onion has a rather fine 803 emulator, and the Algol tapes. And
a
working 803. I've only got bits of one in my shed.
