[GreenKeys] 8 bit punch/reader?

[Suhayl Khan]

Hi Eugene,

I also have some IMSAI 8080s that I am planning on interfacing with my
ASR-33 teletypes... just need some time. I do not know if Teletype made an
8-bit reader/punch however I've found the following on hackaday where
someone has built a circuit for reading paper tape that may be of interest
to you:
