Which HP41 Emulators do R/W MCs?

Question to the experts: Which emlators of the HP41 do also the CR to read/write magnetic cards (virtually)?
Yes, I know, my NutEm/PC does so, it even reads HP67/97-MC files prepared with Tony Nixons emulators. But I wonder if I am the only one who done it. Who else achieved it too?

Genesis 41 an HP-41CX macOS Emulator by Laurent Spohr has a card reader emulator, unfortunately it is no longer available.

Interesting question! From what I’ve seen, support for virtual magnetic card read/write isn’t very common across HP-41 emulators. Aside from NutEm/PC, a few advanced emulators experiment with peripheral simulation, but full CR functionality is often limited or partially implemented. It really depends on how deeply the emulator models the original hardware. You’re definitely not alone, but it’s still a niche feature. I’d be curious to hear if anyone has achieved this reliably with other setups or custom builds.
