*chuckles* Thing is, punchcardpunk, the way you describe it, wouldn't be much of an alternate history, though, the way steam- and dieselpunk are. It's just be Sneakers set 10 years earlier, or *shudder* Hackers set 20 years earlier. :o) Once you get computers, the character of the technology is pretty much the same no matter where you put it; it's just the scale that's different. Sad to say, computing really hasn't had any revolutions since they started connecting the things together.
