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
Do you have any descriptions of that? I have not seen any mention of a CP11 in any
peripherals handbook, nor in any OS. Was that a CSS product? Who built the punch engine?
What sort of interface did it use?
