Re: Cashmouse support of Linux

ah, sorry.

I had a cashmouse with me, but explained to everyone who asked:
this is a brick. the manufacturer refuses to give any details about it,
so there is no way we can write a driver :(

geldkarte.de sells them for 20 euro. and a friend of mine wants
to get rid of his. not sure - I think he tried it on windows and didn't
get it to work.

but if someone gets it to work on windows, maybe that is enough to
write a linux driver? (ok, we would need to sniff the serial port, and
I have no clue how to do that, but I'm sure someone out there can
help us with that.)

but of course the problem is also finding time, and right now I have
several readers where the vendor would support writing a driver, so
they come first.
