At the moment I am having my good old HP-41 card reader serviced.
From what I've heard so far it has come back to life, almost 20 years after the fatal day I dropped it and it broke into pieces.
Now I would like to reuse the magnetic cards I still have from
the eighties and early nineties. I think some of them may be
overwritten without the loss of important (or just interesting :-)) programs or other data.
However, in the old days most of these cards were labelled with a black overhead marker (Staedtler Lumocolor permanent SF). So the first question is how to remove this (with alcohol?) while the second, more interesting idea is to make a completely new label, preferably laser-printed.
So I made a kind of template in Photoshop, having the look and size of a blank HP magnetic card, so that individual text and other info can be easily added. My first idea is to print this on self-adhesive labels or adhesive paper, but - will the added thickness cause any problems while the card passes trough the reader?
Or maybe someone has a better idea?
