Cut up a floppy disk.
I remember there were disks that worked and those that didn't. Try both
1.2MB and 360KB 5-1/4" floppy disks...different magnetic properties.
I'm pretty sure one of them will work fine...just don't remember which.

I never tried a 3.5" disk.

Mike,
That is an idea. But to do that, I need the dimensions of the magnetic
card or one to use as a template.

You should probably try the discussion forum at www.ti59.com.

It's pretty simple. If the card won't go into the slot, it's too wide...
As I recall, make it long and it quits reading when it's got enough bits.
Trial and error...
Ok, OK, my cards measrue 0.447" x 2.80"

Thanks Mike. I will try it out.
