Just an aside, because we won the 3M innovation award, 3M (australasia)
offered to write the code for Koha to use to connect to a 3M self check
machine if a library with that machine decided to use Koha.

Dunno if it's a useful thing to say, but it jogged my memory. 

A good place to go for an
> overview of NCIP is:
>    http://www.niso.org/committees/at_jan_02/index.htm
> copies of the standard and an implmentation profile (longish pdf files)

Cheers
