I can find hardly any HP-71B related barcode links on the web which does not surprise me, but is disappointing nevertheless. I would have hoped for some programs in barcode form or software to convert listings into barcode. Anybody anything there?

Since the wand is not from HP, and HP never published any 'standard' for how one should record programs (Basic or Forth) nothing popular ever emerged in the user community. I recall there was some mention in mid -80s PPC-COJ or maybe CHHU journals about trying to get this going, but I never saw anything come of it; the high cost was a factor too. The wand was used mostly by vertical applications, and many of those understandably weren't compatible with each other.
