[lug] semi OT: Magnetic Stripe / Credit Card readers

[Chip Atkinson]

No, unfortunately I don't.  My one experience with magstripe kbd readers
was that it worked on DOS(!).  IIRC it would just provide the characters
as if they were typed in. This was with a magstripe reader kbd, but not
*this* keyboard.  The kbd that I used was before USB was even invented I
think.
