[GreenKeys] 8 bit punch/reader?

[Ed Sharpe Archivist for SMECC via GreenKeys]

I see the speed issue  if  you have a massive library of   picture  tapes 
you want to read in and  put online

Sorry, I  don't get the speed issue? I have no need for any speed. Slow is 
fine.   But as it seems that standalone 8-bit readers/punches made by 
teletype  corporation are not common, I might have to look at other brands. And 
while I  would like current loop, it seems many readers are parallel.

But if we're trying to keep alive the history of our  heavy metal, why does 
the fact that the TTY readers (and printers) are slow  even figure into the 
equation?  If all you're interested in is speed, go  with modern 
technology. Besides how many tapes do you have to read  anyway?

there's several tape readers on eBay. From complete  units to parts.
