Subj: MODIFIED BAR CODE READER PORT

  Hi, Rick,
  You recently mentioned plans to use a Model 100 to monitor functions in an
automobile.  Tracy Allen has mentioned using them as remote data loggers.  I've
also seen ads promoting their use in secuirty systems.
  In the interest of expanding the laptop's  possible uses, is it feasible to
modify the Bar Code Reader port to a more useful "standard" 9-pin RS232 port?
(I use the word "standard" with several grains of salt in connection with RS232
interfaces.)
