[AccessD] Honeywell scanner

[Stuart McLachlan]

Accofrding to the specs I've just looked at, it can operate as a "keyboard wedge", which 
means you don't need any interface.  Hook it up in line with the keyboard with the supplied Y 
cable, put the curson on a textbox and scan a code - it will automagically appear in the 
textbox.

" Host System Interfaces USB, RS232, Keyboard Wedge, IBM 46xx (RS485), OCIA, Laser Emulation, Light Pen Wand Emulation"
