No thanks. I have always left that kind of fiddly timing-dependent
coding to those that *like* counting clock ticks.

So, does anybody have the Model 200 BCR drivers? My buddy Lex has a 200
but no wand, and I have 2 wands... 

Also, is the Tandy 1000 BCR compatible or is it different? Would need
t1000 drivers, obviously...

I had a similar task at a job. Maybe 97?

We were supposed to take a postal office Symbol hand scanner (1-d) and wave
it up and down to scan a signature.

We put a triangle guide on either side of the signature box to see where we
were at vertically and determine the angle.

It probably would have worked except that one of the engineers determined
the scanner "needed glasses". It would have been too expensive to retrofit
all units with a corrective lens.

Well? What else would I do with it in this era? It's not like people
print URLs or whatever in 3-of-9. ;-)
