F2F Magstripe library?

Is there a library, or has someone created something that can decode the F2F from a Magstripe? Just curious. I am making a simple clock-in/out system using ID cards and was wondering if someone has already done this.

I've used the intellihead shift-out reading-head by magtek with success. If you are interested, let me know!
