Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4359 (RS BAR CODE PACKAGE)
---- Frank: As far as I know, there was only one bar code package available for the Model 100. The package included the wand, a tape--not disk--and a manual. The initial cost of this product was $99.00. Today, if I had any--and I don't--I'd get about $35 per package. I have standing orders for bar code packages and can't find a stash. However, I am told that the wand was made by Hewlett-Packard, and that they "may" still make that particular wand. I can't say, at this moment, nor can I add that a wand made today will have the same characterists or use the same connector. These remain unknown. To this end, I asked member John Cassacia (Tracy Allen's right hand dude, and Mr. Model 100 fix it (see past newsletter)) to look into the subject. John's into finals so I'll wait another week before bugging him about it, yet again. More later, I hope. -Rick-
