about

punch cards & tapes

This simulation allows to experience the 1960's mainframe feeling.
It behaves similar to an original IBM 1401, introduced 1959 and available until 1971.
This was the introduction of midrange computing opposed to the big irons, but
nevertheless it allows you not only to watch some demos, but also do some computing
yourself, including writing programs, handling tapes, and punching cards.

See the YouTube channel for some demos

Use the menu on the left to download the simulation to experience it yourself
