Yeah, these fiches are definitely readable with the naked eye, if only
juuuust barely. My favorite parts are the pages that just give the
filename drawn out in # characters, sort of like this:

 ######   ####    ####           #          #     ####
 #       #    #  #    #          #          #    #
 #####   #    #  #    #          #          #     ####
