An old DataHand on eBay
« on: Thu, 06 January 2011, 09:47:22 »
Old DataHands seem to keep popping up on eBay...  Shame they're all in the US or I might be tempted myself.  It could confuse my coworkers even more than my existing setups...

There's some kind of magic box in the picture, which I assume plugs between the hand pieces and the PC.  Does anyone know what interface these use - is it liable to be difficult to attach this to a modern PC?

Conspicuously, the seller doesn't say that it tested good. They don't say that it's untested either.

The seller could be trying to slow-play us with their gosh-golly-what's-this? spiel...
