Well. I have a Phelps laundry card with no clue where to start.. other than the fact that I have complete and utter control of the machine that spits out cards, reads and writes to them.... so I guess that is a start.
Machine says debitek on the outside, but inside, there is a sticker referencing the serial number, and Emergis Inc. INJECTED FEB 2009 - TASQ Tech (on the back of the card writer). When I open the back panel of the writer, there is some removable circuits, and under the 'secure' protective face plate, there is a serial connection. For all intents and purposes, it is a debit/creditcard machine connected through a phone line.
It refers to cards as 'money clips'.
So... does anyone know what protocol/standard/ laundry smartcards use? the microprocess/EPROM or what have you?
Might be very worth noting that I am not doing this in attempts to 'steal' anything. Just want to see how it works, maybe test it a couple times to make sure I have an understanding :D.
