I also had an ASCII chart like that, and one magazine printed the
needed values for branching with 8bit CPUs (which I admit anyone could
have calculated) and I printed that out and glued it to a piece of

I bought some business card stock a few years ago, and it went through
my HP 4P laserjet with no problem. If you could live with cardboard of
that smaller thickness, and find it somewhere, it would work. It would

My Brother HL-1440 can take card stock through the front feed
