On a FreeBSD host most of these just appear with ugen0 and thats about as far as it will go. I'll look into the Motorola but I'm not willing to committ to buying something that isn't going to work, however the same could be said for the OpenPCD. Although at least I know that OpenPCD will unfortunately work with something like Debian or Slackware as a last resort. If I can get the hardware to work with OpenBSD it'll just be a case then afterwards of getting librfid to work. At the moment I'm trying to get the Omnikey 5121 to work while I await the OpenPCD reader. It is not going well as one might imagine. ATB, Conor.
