I have a couple older MSI/88e hand-held terminals - 1802-based
w/one-line LED display.
I'd love to come across any internals information on the 1510A...
sounds like something easy to adapt to become a hand-held ASCII
terminal (useful for tasks like attaching to the internal diagnostic
serial port on a DEC RA81). So if anyone knows about the guts of a
1510A, I'd love to know, too.

My Symbol
machines are all ruggedized versions of standard-ish small
machines from the day - sometimes with extras. Mine has some WLAN card
and a barcode scanner.
FWIW NASA surpluses tons of the Symbol bar code readers at auction at
KSC. Recently they've started listing them as Export-Controlled items.
Anybody have any idea why?
