At the bottom of this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_6800 is a link to "MC6800 applications manual from 1975- lots of information" actual link: http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/motorola/M6800applMan_Mar75.pdf This is a 36 meg pdf file. Chapter five has "scanning wand for capturing data from printed symbols" and includes the example of UPC reading. The entire document is an image scan so text searching does not work. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
