HI Michael,

I've seen those terminals. You're likely to find information in a magazine called "ID Magazine" (sorry, don't have an url).

The computer they're connected to is likely to be running a proprietary program that allows two-way communication and that's what you would somehow hook up your vfp app. I don't think the terminals can run vfp at all.

At one of the devcon's last year there was an italian company that had a wired version of those terminals and they had a vfp app talking to it. That company was code painter (they have an entry in the wiki). You could try contacting them for information.

You could also try Symbol and other barcode readers company.

Hope this helps!

Alex
