Non-sequential reading from magnetic cards possible?
I managed to execute a repair on my card reader! It works for now, rotten rubber on the drive wheel as per usual. I didnt have the requisite materials to redo a coupling damper but it pulls cards through quite smoothly. As expected a majority of the cards read with MALFUNCTION or CARD ERROR after 31 years. A couple are still viable.

I have what appears to be a database on the cards covering 6 cards (12 sides). Card one gives a MALFUNCTION followed by RDY 01 of 12. Is there any way to try a read of the other cards?
