[Gambas-user] USB Port

[nando]

The USB<->Serial was just an example.
The RFID device may already be supported in the kernel
as /dev/something-or-other if the RFID device's internal firmware talks 
as known devices...
For example: a USB barcode scanned would work because it works like
HID just like a keyboard.  In my opinnion, a RFID device would reasonally
input characters just like a keyboard.  It may actually be /dev/ttyUSB0 or
similar.
