Hello All
Firstly, this is my first posting to this forum, so forgive me if I've managed to post to the wrong one.
I am in the process of assembling a replica OP-80a punched paper tape reader for use with replica MK14.
Of course, to test it all out I'll need a punched paper tape.
I have identified a company that produces punched paper tapes.
My question is: What is the format of the data file that I need to supply?
I appreciate that this might seem an obvious question but for me it isn't. If I compare the situation with my experience of using a KIM-1: that computer has routines in its monitor to print to a paper tape puncher or produce a correctly formatted file for that use, but (at least I don't think so) the MK 14 has no such routine.
As an example: if I take the Moon Landing program (or any program) from out of the MK14 user guide, in what format would I need to save that to a file to get it printed as a punched paper tape?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
And, yes, I have asked the company that produce the punched paper tapes but they have - quite reasonably - said that they cannot advise on individual makes of computer.
I hope the following might be of help:
I'm trying to achieve what is shown in this YouTube video:

If I can provide any other information that could help, please just ask and I'll do my best.
Many thanks.
