Does anyone
know where to find a punched card reader
 these days? I'm looking for a small desktop unit that
 I could interface to a PC. 
 In the 1976-1978 timeframe my high school leased a desktop reader made
 by H-P which would read either mark-sense or punched cards, and output
 serial data.  It was hooked up in tandem with an ASR33 Teletype for
 access to a TOPS-10 timesharing system (BOCES NCODE on Long Island).
 It made a goose like "honk" each time it read a card.
  
 
I remember those, we had one on an HP2100.  They were very nice
when they were working.  They needed to re-aligned every few
months.  Ours got very heavy usage in a University laboratory.
I believe ours had a parallel interface, but I suspect they
had several interfaces to the same mechanism.
