I type this...
hex 24 base ! <string on label> EZ0G - hex .
... exactly (with spaces?), then type...
<hostid> 27b00 + .
...to get the MAC numbers? I can try this out on my LX...


Here's W for that code table...
W  --..--.-.-.-
...or...
(Using _ for one and xx for two, the above becomes)
W  xxxxxx______


Here's my barcodes, maybe easier to use this way...
X  = width 1 bar
XX = width 2 bar
-  = width 1 space
-- = width 2 space
|  = width 1 space. Used to visually seperate the letters.

AUSY        |      A     |      U     |      S     |      Y     |
X--X-XX-XX-X|XX-X-X--X-XX|XX--X-X-X-XX|X-XX-X-XX--X|XX--X-XX-X-X|X--X-XX-XX-

HW1K        |      H     |      W     |      1     |      K     |
X--X-XX-XX-X|XX-X-X--XX-X|XX--XX-X-X-X|XX-X--X-X-XX|XX-X-X-X--XX|X--X-XX-XX-
X
Q1YG        |      Q     |      1     |      Y     |      G     |
X--X-XX-XX-X|X-X-X-XX--XX|XX-X--X-X-XX|XX--X-XX-X-X|X-X-X--XX-XX|X--X-XX-XX-
X

Same visual description...
-  = space
-- = double space
1  = single width bar
2  = double width bar
