  I am looking for a MAGNETIC strip card reader to connect to an IBM
AT/compatible type machine.  Preferably, I would be able to read and write to
cards from within a database package, connected to a serial port.  Accesability
from C would also be useful.  Price is a consideration as well (being a broke
graduate student).  At this point, I only need one, so if you such a beast you
don't need, please respond.  Also any info on where I could buy these would be
helpful!!  

  Please e-mail me directly, since the VAX here has serious problems reading
comp.sys.ibm.pc (I don't know why, I think there is just too much volume.)
If there is demand, I will post the answers.   Many thanks in advance!
