[cctalk] Re: Is there a more modern replacement for paper tape punch/reader

You can also find schematics for computers that used a tape, such as the TRS-80 Coco. There's lots of old 8-bit computers that used tapes. Even the original IBM PC had a tape interface built in (though it was rarely used).

You will have a bit of work, in both software and hardware, to adapt one of these existing designs. For a terminal, I typically use some variation of this: https:// maccasoft.com/en/electronics/vga-serial-terminal/ <https:// maccasoft.com/en/electronics/vga-serial-terminal/>
