Well my replacement Debit card from BOA came yesterday and it now has the chip on it!

I am wondering how these new Chip reader swipers interface software wise?

Is there a specific manufacturer you work with?
Does it come with any kind of software support? (for VFP - sample code).

The current swipers are just keyboard emulators and it was easy to parse the card info from it.
I need to figure out how one can parse the card info from the Chip readers? (I am pretty sure it is not as easy!).

Thanks
