If you are into punchcards, I wrote a multipart blog post about recovering and running some 40-years old code which was originally on punch tape.

- teddyh 2y agoIt seems that you have not yet gotten to the part of actually reading from the tape.
- amenghra 2y agoIn part 1, I build an emulator to run the code. In part 2 I verify that the punchcard data matches the source code I found online (https://www.quaxio.com/kaleidoscope_part2/ https://www.quaxio.com/kaleidoscope_part2/). I performed this "reading from the tape" operation using inkscape since I only have a picture of the tape, I don't actually have a copy of the tape. In part 3 I show the structure of the code (https://www.quaxio.com/kaleidoscope_part3/ https://www.quaxio.com/kaleidoscope_part3/).
- teddyh 2y agoThen you did your reading of the tape without writing anything about the process of reading it, in which case your blog posts seems less than relevant to this story.
