- When I ask in the computer stores around here, all they know is that
- the common hand scanners require a separate card in the PC; they can't
-
- So what do these "separate cards" do? Are they simply serial ports? or
- do they do some real processing. If they are doing processing, is it
- analog processing (perhaps A->D)? Otherwise it seems that the
- processing could be moved to the laptop's cpu.
