Hi

Could someone plase tell me how the NZ Phone cards are coded and/or the other
Plastic Cards with magnetic strips on them.

I would like to make a Plastic Card Reader (NOT A WRITER (Well not yet ;-) )).

Does anyone know how the data is writen on then (ie binary) and how to get the
data from the card to the serial port?

THANKS in advance...
