That bit of disk threw me. Is that part of the unit? Anyway in that case I
am pretty sure there will be a way to hook it up to something. Might be
worth looking at the Raspberry PI it has a nice programmable header with
many input/output likes. Its just how much work is needed.

It was an inputoutunit to IBM System 6 text processor. It
uses magcards, same size as 80 column punchcards. Capacity
roughly 2.000 characters /Nico
I don't think it was ever "hooked up" to any thing. Just used for
copying cards to disk and then feed the disk else where.
