CF is on the server side, whereas the mag stripe writer would likely be on
the client side. I think what would make more sense for you is to have a
Java/ActiveX object that can perform the writing, then simply send the
written data to CF and store the value in a db or whatever.
You should talk to Pete Freitag at CFdev.com. I doubt he's built it, but I'm
100% sure he is capable of doing it. He built a CF tag that connects to a
scanner, kind of a similar thing.

Subject: Write to a magnetic stripe card
Hello All,
Has anyone send code to a Magnetic Stripe Card Writer? I need to be
able to encode Magnetic Stripe Cards with information that I will read
later.
I can read the card using a Wedge or USB reader because it act like a
keyboard, but I need to write to the card also. Is there a ColdFusion
answer to this question? I hope so, I have been known to say
ColdFusion can do anything. Now help me prove I am right ;)
I am looking at a card reader/writer from Meg-Tek that connects to a PC
with an RS-232 port (serial port) or USB port.
TIA!!
