I remember that! It was some bar code variant, I think the

Cauzin SoftStrip. Basically a 2-D barcode, read with a handheld scanner.
I have one of the readers, and curiously the format did NOT die, but moved
to commercial applications like trade show badges.
I wonder if anybody ever reverse engineered the code so that softstrips
could be read on a scanner?
