Card Reader Service

Recovery service for your legacy data and programs

open to the public

J. E. Brown, vendor


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 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.


Methods & Pricing:

 1 

Method 1: Card Reading by Mail.

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

Price: 3.9¢ 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.
Free Trial Instructions

If your cards have historical value or are irreplaceable, so that you wouldn't want them out of your custody, you should use Method 2 below.

 2 

Method 2: Card Reading over Internet.

Less expensive than method 1 because you do part of the work.
You scan the cards and send us the scanned images (see instructions below); we do the rest.

Price: 1.9¢ per card + $3 setup fee. No minimum.

Free Trial Run: Before you commit to sending us all your cards, first scan just 5 cards and e-mail the TIFF images 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.
