As a matter of fact, yes. I wrote a driver for a friend to interface dBase 2 with a magnetic card stripe reader/writer.

I programmed in Dbase 2 in the early 80's, God, a lifetime ago.
I wrote a quite a few new commands for it, that appeared in Dbase3, that Wayne Radcliffe(sic) bought for $200.00 a pop.

A trivia quote, from a conversation I had with Wayne in 1984:

Fedupjohn: "Wayne, why can I only open 17 files at one time?...
Wayne Radcliffe: "I wrote Dbase to handicap football games, and that all that I needed."

A very nice man.
