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-
