Ray, I purchased this model a couple of months back, when the link was
originally posted to the group. I assummed it just connected in-line with
the keyboard, but looking at the connectors this did not look right, so it
is still sitting in a box somewhere. Do you have any docs with yours on how
to connect to a PC?

Thought people might be interested to know that I came across a supplier of
cheap barcode scanners... £20 for a second hand "guaranteed to
work" unit.

I'd like to report how well they work, only I read the bit about it
supporting TTL RS232 *after* I plugged it in to my PCs RS232 port? Anyone
care to venture the odds on it still being alive? Oops.

Just don't plug them straight into a 12v serial port like I just did ;-)
