I have been working with one for a couple years now on and off again, and
have had no major issues with it. The software interface is a little
clunky (you run it with Hyperterminal...) but gets the job done. One point
I would caution you is that it is very sensitive to back reflections, so
keep this in mind as you work with it. It shuts itself down if
back-reflected light exceeds a certain amount.
