Dang! I knew I was forgetting something!
6) In order to be eligible, the unit must have entered production (or
in the case of a construction article based unit, been published) prior to
the introduction of the IBM "PC". (198?... dang, brain fade!)
1981. August to be exact....
Anyway, hold your pants on! The rules for the exhibit are coming soon!

A good, practical way to do it. Mark-sense cards/readers are commonly
used in colleges for multiple guess tests.
But in line with the "Vintage" nature, I think that you should use
"porta-punch" IBM cards! You could maybe borrow/rent one of the manual
punches that is commonly used in elections. 'course then you also need a
card reader, . . .
Remind me if/when you get by my office to look for my IBM folding voting
booth.

I've got card readers... But they are a LOT heavier than my mark-sense
readers.

Who, me?

used in colleges for multiple guess tests. But in line with the "Vintage" nature,
Arn't these readers already classics ? I remember them from the
early 70s, when they tried this system over here (it went soon
out of use) at a local high school (Realschule).

Yes, but mine is an old HP Optical Mark Reader and I've never played with
it yet so I don't know what's involved in running it or interfacing with
it. Is yours a ScanTron?
