I looked back at my docs for the reader project and see I picked the
data & clk outputs off the read amps and interpreted them with an
assembly program - no roller sensing involved.
Just a PLL...doing self-clocking in that manner is pretty easy.
I believe that magnetic stripe uses BMC (F-2F) modulation, so it's
self-clocking anyway.
