94F Wand Message #1 Posted by Mike on 3 Sept 2002, 12:00 a.m. I was playing (can we call it that) with my 94F today and was wondering about the BarCode Wand. I looked around and found an HP wand that looks like it might be a match for the 94. But I have never seen a wand for the 94 so don't know what they look like. The Wand (HP) looks almost identical to the 75C/D wand except it doesn't have the switch. It also has a matching 5 pin connector, instead of the smaller 3 pin connector. There are no part numbers on the wand. Anyone know what the 94 wand looks like? Might this be the right wand? I plugged it in and turned on the 94 and it didn't light up. I know I have to write a program to use it but don't know if it should light up absent of the program. Anyone know?

Re: 94F Wand Message #2 Posted by Raymond Hellstern on 3 Sept 2002, 3:40 a.m., in response to message #1 by Mike Yes, this is the right wand (I own a NIB 94F, too;-) It has a spiral cord, and the connector has a full metal jacket... And yes, the wand doesn't seem to light up when connected only. AFAIR the technical manuals are on the Museum CD's. Raymond BTW: The Zenwand for the HP-71 is a very nice thing. It just works out of the box. Too bad the 94F isn't as easy to use.

Re: 94F Wand Message #3 Posted by Mike on 3 Sept 2002, 10:17 a.m., in response to message #2 by Raymond Hellstern I have the technical manuals. I noticed today that the Cold and Warm defaults are for power to the wand port to be off. I'm going to try and write a test program for the 94 this weekend and try out the wand.
