I'm glad my punch tape drive is long gone. We used a paper punch tape reel to reel on a garden cart to wheel around the shop floor to load CNC programs onto CNC mills. Often with hand written gcode. Gods, I hated that thing. Floppies were far faster and far more reliable.

My dad had a punch tape and I remember he hated the shit out of that thing.

I would rather stand a type an entire program into mill or lathe by hand than ever go back to something like that.
