At a thrift shop, to my surprise, I found and purchased an Ingenico 3500 credit/debit card reader. It appears almost new. There is no wear on the buttons or case. The labels say "I3500 UTF" on the front and "I3500 RS232" on the rear. It apears to need 6VDC at 0.5 A. It does however have a socket for an 8 pin IP LAN plug - despite the RS232 labels.

I would like to somehow interface it to my desktop. I know nothing about the device except from my use of similar devices in stores. I have no manual and I can't seem to find one online for this particular model. I haven't even opened the back of it yet. Any guidance would be of help.
BTW: I'm running WinXP SP3 on an IBM ThinkCenter system.
 

Hmmmm....no response. Maybe no one knows anything about this? Maybe you're wondering what I'm going to use it for? Heyyyy. I'm Canadian, we don't rip people off. We are too comfortable to start such a project. I am far too old to even thing about a bout a prison sentence. I just want to learn from it - as a hobby - whiuch is all I can do these days. I mean, I could have gone to the hacker web sites, but ts not my thing. So if you can help, please do.
