Dunno. Nothing custom about it. It fits into the keyboard socket (in line with the keyboard), so when someone swipes a card the behaviour is exactly as if someone typed a string of characters into the keyboard very quickly.
Most card readers work like this. I believe the card string is read by a perl script (from it's standard input of course) and put into a MySQL table entry. Quite neat really.
what Card reader are you using..? ...or is that custom written ?
