What are you going to read it with? Unless it’s photographically reduced text, like microfiche, it’s unlikely that the computer hardware and software will still exist.
Nobody uses a 6502 with commodore basic anymore either, I can still pop on an emulator in about 10 seconds to run a game from that era.
Have some information there to build a reader, we can read hieroglyphics and cuneiform and that's older, more primitive and only written in a few places by a few people.
This is pretty doable.
I want to know how many times they had to test it before they found one that lasted so long
