CC swiper / Cash machine

[Erich Dollansky]

Hi,

take a look at the web-site of Schlumberger. They do machines like 
this.

All the documentation needed should be there.

There is even a standard behind. Most machines follow this 
standard. Only the fields vary.

Yes, most machines are connected via RS232. The protocol is pretty 
easy to do.
