svenski Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 If you follow ebay you'll see what looks like a crappy "Oscar" battery operated scanner for sale cheap cheap for the Atari. The seller has no clue what software would work with the scanner, or anything else for that matter. Has anyone here used it or know what 8-bit software supports it?

+davidcalgary29 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I asked about this about a month ago. The OSCAR scanner was produced in the early '80s to read bar-code scans; at the time, it was thought that program listings would be printed in bar-code format, and save gamers hours of typing. Nothing, as far as I know, was ever actually produced to work with this device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svenski Posted June 5, 2003 Author Share Posted June 5, 2003 Thanks for the posts guys, so basically the scanner was pretty limited anyway then, not like the "Computer Eyes" gizmo. If I find anything out myself I'll add it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
