[Koha] Open source replacement for 3M self check station

[Chad Roseburg]

We use Koha selfchecks with generic touchscreens and scanners. Not too
difficult to set up. We used Debian
with Chrome in Kiosk mode. Later ...

We had some 3M selfchecks that we tried to convert using the same strategy
but drivers for the hardware were
a barrier. If someone has had success with the security strip reader or any
of the 3M equipment we'd also be interested in hearing about it.
