PDP-11 Paper Tape Software (PTS-11)

The Paper Tape System (PTS-11) provides a complete programming environment using a minimal PDP-11 system along with a paper tape reader. A high-speed paper tape device and a line printer are optional devices.

Typically, a Teletype ASR33 will be used for input, output, and low speed paper tape reader & punch.
