MSR605 card device

Here's one of those odd things I just ended up with because: a) I could, b) it was free, & c) why not?? <giggle>

It is a little computer device (and power brick) that at least enables reading the magnetic strip on the back of typical card keys and such, perhaps being able to 'write' to them as well, in order to allow some other security-related function to take place. It came to me along with a handful of blank white keycards. (their appearance is blank anyway, there could be stuff recorded/coded on their strips I suppose?)

I haven't researched it beyond a simple Google to confirm that it *is*...I can't think of the slightest thing I would use it for (even if I knew how to?) so for now its just 'one more curiosity in a box'. I also haven't plugged it into my own computer to see what'd happen, if anything...??
