 BK>> Have you ever noticed the scanners used in super markets to
 BK>> keep inventory? We use the same scanners to keep our storeroom
 BK>> inventory. I was using one today to put some parts back in
 BK>> inventory, when I switched scanner, the scanner I picked up had
 BK>> lost it's configuration. It reconfigured itself through the
 BK>> wireless network we use.

 BK>> The interesting thing was, as it booted up before
 BK>> configuration, the LCD showed it booting up in Dr Dos. It
 BK>> displayed Digital Research also. I didn't catch the version
 BK>> number. Once it configured it would not display the boot up

 BK>> out what they are running in there that is booting up with DR
 BK>> Dos.

 LE> DR-DOS has a ROMable version. Which is used by a lot of 
 LE> gear that needs to boot from a ROM.

  I'm wondering what the CPU is.
