OK - I got burned by an eBay purchase - it had to happen sometime. I picked up a Symbol LS2000 barcode scanner, which comes (for some unknown reason) with a 25 pin male serial plug on the end of the lead (although it only has 9 pins in it). I thought I would be OK just getting an adaptor to change it to a 9-pin female, and then plugging into a standard serial port, but that does not seem to be working. I am looking, therefore, for the following: 1. Somebody with some experience who can either get it working, or would like a new toy 2. A PS/2 barcode scanner (preferred, but serial might do) that works under Linux, that somebody would like to either sell, or lend to me for 6 months while I finish the project involved. Otherwise I'm heading back to eBay to try again :( Ben Thorp _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
