[Koha] anyone using rfid, robot sorter, or self checkout interfaces?

I believe Clive Robertson out of Melbourne, Australia has been looking into 
getting older 3M selfcheck gear to run with Koha as the frontend. His email

From my own experience, we ran 3M selfcheck software using SIP1 up until very 
recently (2001).
