I checked through the datasheet and found pins I think I can use. For the Running and loaded signal im going to use DTR, or a constant 5 volts and the TX Pin for data. I was looking through you code and it seems that the program is ready to execute and recieve data when the clock signal is low, So maybe I can just set that pin to low and have it work? Also the data is coming in at 9600bps, which i imagine is the same as your "bare" reader. Is there a Define needed for the data rate?
Thanks,
