Alas, for the OSI, you will need to build some hardware to read them.
I do NOT know the details, but I've heard that that hardware can be
built around a UART!
Could be done with a pulse-timer board, such as a Catweasel pretty
easily. Or a small MCU with its built-in UART could also do the
trick. Moving heads, etc. is simple. To see what OSI used for data
separators and other interface, I believe that somone has a Sam's
Photofact online for the C4P showing schematics and timings.
