selam,
I just got it and have not powered it on. I do have the manual for it, and
for
the underlying m1000, so hopefully this will go better than my m200 did.
it melted the rollers due to age.
still need replacement rollers and service on that one.

I have one of the card readers currently listed
on Ebay. It is
in perfect condition, and is equiped with RS232 interface, for
convenient reading on a PC or whatever.
Have you gotten the serial interface to work?
Biggest problem to deal with is age of rollers,
and since these
are taken from recent service, they should last longer than the
originals.
I'm not sure how old my M200 is or when it was last serviced, but I found
it under a pile at Mike Quinn Electronics years ago and when I put it back
into service it worked really well. It still does. I just ran 30,000
cards through. It definitely needs some maintenance now as it makes a
harsh noise when it's operating. Will have to find time to open it up and
lubricate the bearings and what not.
