Can Puppy teach CueCat some tricks?
Posted: Thu 12 Jan 2006, 23:41
Here's one for the way more techies than me...
There's these little barcode scanners called CueCat (they actually look like a cat...bummer, not a puppy ) that Radio Shack used to give away...I have a few of them (USB models), for which I have linux drivers, but I don't have a clue what to do with them to make it work in puppy.
These scanners were passed out with software (that required the owner to register) from a company called Digital Convergence, (long since out of business...bla bla bla), anyway, they can still be found via e-bay, lots of peoples junk drawers, etc for next to nothing.
I thought that since puppy breeds new life into old systems it would be cool if it did the same for the Cat....besides I think if a Puppy could teach a Cat to do something useful....that would be a really neat puppy trick.
But, I don't have the skills to do it.
Anyone know what would be involved in making this possible
