Can an Acorn read punchcards ???

[Todd Airsushi]

I have very valuable data on punchcards that must be read and stored on
disk.

Is that possible with an Acorn? Can an Acorn access a punchcard-reader?

What an odd Troll.

Note the email address, which is yahoo in singapore.

Note the cross-post to the "scot.bairns" group.

Note the use of the term "Acorn".

It depends on the punchcard reader. I did have some software that I wrote
years and years ago to access some makes of punchcard reader on the BBC B,
so if you've got the correct interfaces available, then it /may/ be
possible.

Unfortunately, the punchcard readers I had at work at the time got replaced
circa 1988.
