"Want to move those 100's of bytes of data you put on paper tape back in
your misspent youth to 21st century media? (Any time spent with paper
tape was misspent.) Bring your paper tape and a flash drive to the K-LUG
tape fest On March 10. I will briefly describe the set up and then will
be ready to do transfers. I can transfer data as hex, binary, or binary
with the parity bit ignored. For 7 bit character data binary with parity
bit ignored is probably the preferred method."
