I think most any usb barcode scanner will work. If you put the cursor into a Excell cell, and then scan a barcode, the info from the code should appear in the cell. But... I dunno if you'll be able to get the different results from a single code to appear in separate cells? It might just put ALL the info from a code into one cell - and you'll have to copy/paste it into the cells you want (serial number, manufacturer, price, etc). It might require specialized software to automatically separate the data into different fields. I know a librarian who uses a scanner to scan circulation info from books - but she uses a special library program to sort the data. But then... I've never actually used a scanner so I'm mostly just guessing.
