Hi guys,

I just picked up a pair of diebold credit card readers for 4$. They have the numpad and LED screen. I'm hoping to get it working with linux so I can read all my credit cards or any other magnetic stripe card. Perhaps I can even get something working to just display the input on the LED.. Well that's my goals with this project..

Anyone know of any software to get linux (preferably ubuntu) working with these? Its got a db15 and rj11 connection. Perhaps I can adapt the db15 to USB?

I've looked for manuals all over but no luck :-/ Any help or ideas much appreciated!

look for fcc id this should give you part number online. then take part number and go to driverguide.com

login uesd to be drivers:username
all :password

but they have had on there site they will be updateing it to register yoru own name. they had everyone using the same username and passwrod for i know atleast 5 years

Edit: you should be able to get a driver for it if there is one. Other than that i don't know you where you could get anyother info my $.02
 
Looked all over and cant find an FCC ID :-/ and I've googled every other number on this thing!
 
I'm in the POS business. For what you want to do, I would just pickup a USB mag swipe

They can simply output to notepad, I'm sure you could get it to work with linux.
 
@Hordsak Ya I sell those as well. I really just wanted to see what I could do with these old things.

152-1043 C2005 1.1.2 CKSM C484 (that shows up when the reader gets power)

Well these are all I could find! Right now it powers up but just says "Card Not Found" when swiped. I plugged it into a live phone line and found that an LED labeled RX light up. TX did not light up, even when card was swiped. Wondering if this actually has a modem built in, or if it just listens for connections from a central machine controlling readers on a network, and transmits data to that device when needed.

If anyone wants me to try something with it just let me know.
