The device is FG60 from Startek, Taiwan. I actually almost started a project writing an POSIX interface for Startek's more advance model FCP-101 which can store fingerprints locally or on remote server. My project never took off because the company interest had shifted. Email me if you are interested. -- Remove *nospam* to email. -- Adrian Hoe -- http://adrianhoe.com
