I was going through the Ebay completed items just out

noticed that an HP2748B paper tape reader went for $5.00 back on April 6th.
That is one HECK of a deal!!!
Well, as it happens, I got an HP2748B for *free* the other day. And,
it included an extra read-head unit with an 8/6 track switch.
Oh, and an HP 2100S, too!
I missed the 2748B, but wouldn't have bid anyways,
I already have two :)
I'm tempted to wire mine up to a more modern computer (hardly
dare say "PC" :) and read paper tapes with it. Has anyone
done that sort of thing?
