delurk... Hi
I think I know the type of thing you mean. You'll probably need to get a pinout diagram, and make a custom cable. to connect it to the PC. As the connector also takes the power to the scanner, it's not as simple as pluggin it in. I can't remember the pinout myself, but I have a feeling that the scanner is the same as the DATALOGIC. is it about the size of a fag packet with a cut corner where the cable comes out?
