After seeing pictures of an 8-level BRPE punch, I would sure like to get my ink-stained fingers on one, too. I would want one configured for 8-level punching on 1" tape for use with my vintage computer gear, naturally. I think it would be fun to design a USB to BRPE interface to drive it from a modern computer. Were they available with either chadless or chad-making heads? I'd naturally want chad-making so that the tapes it punches could be used in optical tape readers.

My current machine for punching and reading tapes with my modern computers is a GNT 6404. It's nice, but it doesn't have the heft of proper Teletype equipment.
