Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the input devices that can read magnetic strips? I'd like to have a USB one that reads a credit card, and fills out a sort of "sign up" form from that information. I'd also prefer one that works with Linux (of course).

Also, any idea of a good (online?) store that sells this sort of device? I've found a couple through searching, but none look all that reliable.

thanks,

Cherry makes keyboards that have card readers built into them. I've deployed them in Point of Sale applications before. They may also make stand alone readers, I'm not sure. They've been in reliable moderate daily use for upwards of 4 years now.
