Re: POS - Scanner and data aquisition

I'm sure there are other POS devices for both lpt,USB and even
PC_Cards, but what's the problem with the serial port? My experience
is that all you need to do is install the device and scan the barcode,
the active field in a form would then receive whatever was read as if
you typed it in.

I'm not sure I'm understanding what your issue is, HTH.
