The small pull-through tape reader that someone
mentioned being sold on
eBay by "mikesdavis" uses a very similar phototransistor array to that in
the PC-08, but only has 9 phototransistors instead of 10.
I thought Mike was making his own using surface-mount phototransistors,
rather than a monlithic array.
