Reading Keyboard Data in a Linux Daemon

[swhite]

Hi

I have a project that uses a HID Mag reader which can be setup in HID mode or Keyboard mode. It will be used with service running on Linux and I would like to know if Inkey/Rawkey could be used to get the data if the device was setup in Keyboard mode. I was hoping for a serial version of the Mag Reader so that I could simply get the data from the COM port however that is not the type of device I received so I am wondering if I can make it work with Purebasic in keyboard mode.

Thanks
Simon
