Just watched an episode of "How It's Made" and they had an Apple IIe on
it. It was used in making rolls for player pianos. The data was on a
5.25" disk fed into a Disk ][ and it just ran a simple program that
controlled the machine doing the punching. Probably had a specially
built controller card.
You can watch part of this segment, including showing the IIe here:
