I see someone has already written a Linux driver but since it is under the GPL that pretty much precludes someone from using that code in a BSD kernel. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you should start here. http://www.cuecat.com/ In short it is a barcode scanner that for a while you can get free from the RadioShack nearest you. I've been looking for programming docs but haven't found any yet. You can plug it inline with your PS/2 keyboard and it looks like it just generates keyboard scancodes. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
