the mycology room of CCL unless marc moved them to the locked storage
behind it. there are like 2 usb magcard readers in there.

Hey all,
I just talked to Tavio from Phat Beets, he had a few cards that did not seem to be
working. I tested all three and got unreliable results. I got every combination of both
light (green blink, green solid, red blink) and failure / success of opening latch.
Especially of note, is that one card of a type I'm fairly certain does not work
correctly, when swiped incorrectly, creates a red light, but also successfully opens the
latch. This gives me the impression that an error code (rather than a card's unique
code) has been incorrectly added to the whitelist!
And overall, swiping is incredibly inconsistent even for my own card, which I know to
have worked well for a long time.
I'm going to buy at least one usb magnetic card reader right now, please join me in
fixing this system so it works consistently, reliably, and securely ASAP.
