Is anyone aware of an ID card scanner hardware/software configuration that
works with the Mac? We want to be able to check users into our micro labs using 
such a device. The university where I work is switching everyone over to ID
cards that have magnetic strips on them. It would sure save a lot of work to
have a scanner hooked up to a Mac that could verify registration status and
provide info on departmental enrollment on the students here. Any info would be
greatly appreciated.
