Though not familiar with the specific examples, a realm of paper-tape/card-deck printer-based erotica are truly well-embedded in the annals-of-computing.

I always carried my 'test images' on a small 400-foot 9-track 800BPI open-reel tape, which could be read by virtyally anything.

Somewhere out there surely there's an archive of these?
