Barcode readers (at least, like the one I used to have) are really easy -
they simply emulate the keyboard and "type" the barcode value (preceeded by
a special keycode that tells you it's a barcode) into the currently selected
field or whatever. In the case of serial devices, you'll want a serial IO
Xtra such as serialXtra to communicate with the device.
