Hello! Many years ago, I had a chance to spend a month with a gadget that the OEM behind Seiko Watches and Epson printers, and practically everything else. The gadget was designed either by them or for them to provide for the scanning of barcodes, it was unique in that it was an Embedded PC that ran MSDOS 6.22 and used the PCMCIA standard to collect and exchange such, it also expected the programming for reading them would be on a card. The barciode reader would be a wand or probe similar to the ones that Radio Shack sold for the TRS-80 Model 100. It was imported to this country by a company named Cardinale Touch which was based in a Dallas TX suburb. Obviously then at the end of the month I did have it sent back, because I wasn't able to both pay that company's outrageous price and of course didn't have a laptop who probably grokked PC cards. I do now. So based on all of that what I would want is a little help in trying to track them down, including the stuff used to program them. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
