RE: Re: HomeVision access control???

["Tawn, Jonathan" <jonathan.tawn@xxxxxxx>]

You need a card writer ... .they cost around =A31000... depending on where
=
you
go ....

I don't know if it's the same with 'door access' coding .. but on bank
cards, I think there are 3 'layers' or 'strips' of data ... one being the
acct number .. one being bank details and I think one being your pin.... I
*think* you may need specific software to erase the existing data and write
fresh

My incredibly clever idea was to use old (ie out of date so
no use=20
to anyone) bank or loyalty cards.  I understand they can
read nectar=20
cards for example.
