I would like to use a PC (AT&T 6300, AT&T 6300+, AT&T UNIX PC, IBM/compatible) to
do electronic time tagging. I would like to use a magnetic strip (e.g. credit
card type device) reader or
a bar code reader as an input device. Does anyone out there have experience with
these types of devices on pc's
In particuler I need to know what hardware is available, what software is available
and what peoples experiences are. Reliability is important.
I am also looking for a peripheral that can interface with a pc's serial or parallel
port that can read magnetic strip cards (a la credit cards), has a keypad, and
can display things on an led display. By way of explanation I sort of have in mind
the kind of device that citibank uses for quick queries in their 24 hr bank sites.
Any other suggestions for remote input would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
