The first card readers were just "CARD READER" with no rev.

From my records of around 40 readers about 50% of all readers are "CARD READER". The other 50% are equally split among "1E", "1F", and "1G" versions. I have never seen or heard of a any B,C,D, or H+ versions.

I am going by what CAT2 reports. Where did you find the 1D info on your unit?

If you read (I used my HEPAX-module) the last 5 words of a ROM-image, they hold the revision number, ID and the checksum.

My Card reader :

EFFB 004 = D EFFC 031 = 1 EFFD 012 = R EFFE 003 = C EFFF 03D = checksum

that is : CR 1D
