I agree with John that CF may not be the best choice. I
have written some smart card applicaions using java
card http://java.sun.com/products/javacard/ not
magnetic cards - but there should be something like
that. If it's in java you could write a wrapper for it
- but then your using java so seems like you might as
well just write a java app...

Good luck,
Rob
