Hi Jim,
after another test using a different PC and paper tape,
the paper tape reader is en route to you. I declared it as
"paper tape reader for hobby use, value USD10" and that it
will "return within 4 weeks". Hopefully this will prevent
you from having to get into toruble with the custom office...
Best regards,
Erik.

pickup trucks pulling tape and loading systems w/ potholes & speedbumps in
the way.

Rolm mil-spec computers, my hobby is airborne vintage avionics and I
know that Ferranti tested their intertial navigations systems for
aircraft also by torturing them in a car driving around Edinburgh
in Scotland...
