Something else that is often forgotten: the 130 is more limited on the cards it can read compared to the 2x00.  If the card has a reading voltage of 3.3v only it won't work at all on a 130.  Most of them are 3.3v and 5v reading, but not all.  Especially the newer cards.  Also if their writing voltage is 5v instead of 12v, the 130 can usually read it (if the voltage is 5v) but not write to the card.  Usually it will say the card is write protected in this case.
