I've been told nothing beats watching the papertape whizz by as a program is loaded into RAM. Personally, I think a papertape reader would make a nice addition to my 6502 single-board computer :). Small size and light weight would be useful, and operation from 240V AC (or low voltage DC) is essential. I suppose I could hack together a papertape reader, but I doubt a papertape punch would be particularly easy to homebrew :( ISTR someone offered me a punch, reader and a few rolls of paper tape a while back, but I seem to have lost their email address (something at canada.com IIRC).
