Since he said only pre-OS 5.4 devices were compatible and the TX is 5.4.9 and he
also said no SDIO worked on the TX other than memory, then I'd gather that no,
it doesn't work.  I wasn't aware of that problem on the TX, but for my purposes
the Socket scanner didn't work well enough on any device.

I switched to the Grabba line of scanners ( www.grabba.com ).  They have a
variety of models which clip on and pass the data using the Universal Connector
or Athena multi-connector or Treo 600 connector or whatever depending on which
device you want to attach it to.

They have normal barcode scanners, 2D scanners, mag stripe readers, RFID tag
readers, smartcard reader, etc depending on your needs and most if not all are
available in your choice of connector.  For the TX, you'd use the Athena
multi-connector.  (Model T-1200a for a standard barcode scanner.)

It can run in keyboard wedge mode, or you can use their SDK to integrate the
scanning control with your application.  I do that with the GCC compiler.  And
while I don't have a TX, I have use the multi-connector version with a variety
of other devices such as the T5 and E2, so I'd expect it to work on the TX. I've
used the universal connector version with my TC while running WiFi, the Athena
version on my T5 while using the WiFi card.

There are a number of other options out there, such as bluetooth enabled
scanners.  For my purposes, I wanted a one-handed solution which attached to the
device itself, and settled on the Grabba line.

YMMV.
