Card Reader Service for 80-Column IBM Punch Cards

Recovery service for your legacy data and programs

open to the public
 


Do you have old data or old programs on 80-column keypunch cards?

Perhaps you kept the cards for sentimental reasons, hoping to convert them to electronic form someday?

Those cards represent a significant investment of your time and labor. They deserve to be more visible, more accessible, more readable, more searchable.

We have a card reader. Let us recover your lost data for you.


Method 1: Full Service (by-mail)

Method 1: Card Reading by Mail.

Full service. Simply ship the cards to us, and we'll do all the work.

Price: 3.7¢ per card + $3 setup fee + return postage (if you want the cards back). No minimum — we can do 10 cards or 10 boxes.

Free Trial Run: Before you commit to sending us all your cards, first photocopy just 3 cards and mail the paper copies to us, as a trial run. We'll convert them to text and e-mail the results to you, at no charge, so you can see how well they come out.

Your cards can get  mold  and  mildew  ! Protect your data by converting to a waterproof disc. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Do not fold, spindle or mutilate this web page. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Did you know: If you punched 1 gigabyte of information onto punch cards, it would weigh 37 tons, and would fill a medium sized bedroom, wall to wall, floor to ceiling. The chads alone would weigh 1 to 2 tons. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
