Off Topic - Magnetic Swipe Readers

[colttaylor]

Anyone know where I can find information on the magnetic stripes on the back of many states' drivers licenses. I know that I need a track 3 reader to read them, but every state I have tried has a different data format.
I would love to find a website or book which lists and describes every state's format.
Any help would be appreciated!

Good luck
I thought I would use the Florida Driver license instead of issuing each person a Employee badge
But when I scanned the drivers license I discovered that there were no standards from one office to the next in the same city.

It was something like so.

notice the G was cutt off the end
Some had no information at all
