Sorry, kind of thought it had been discussed
previously. I could well be wrong
but I'm not sure the Cauzin Softstrip is what I'm recalling though - the refs
linked on wiki refer to CS being 1985, I think there was something being
discussed or proposed by one of the mags years earlier, more in the
IMSAI/Altair era.
I've got a Cauzin reader someplace around here, and I am pretty sure it
was the first TWO dimensional type barcode. They must have had a pretty
strong patent because it was still in use as recently as about 5 years
ago for trade show badges. Anybody know if its tied into the stuff used
in shipping now, postage stamps etc.?
