+       Barcode scanners using idVendor 1130 and idProduct 0001 were 
blacklisted
+       at the HID core level per September 9, 01:39:33, 2008. This because
+       i-Buddy devices claim to be HID devices, while not being so.
+       Unfortunately, the vendor has been super-creative and assigned the 
same
+       combination of idVendor/idProduct to completely different devices. 
Therefore,
+       blacklisting the i-Buddy as a HID device also blacklists several 
brands of
+       barcode scanners. Since blacklisting the i-Buddy by default will mean
+       blacklisting valid HID devices as well, it is now a configurable 
option.

+       If unsure, say N.
+       Unless of course you own an i-Buddy, say Y.
