I don't know if this is the proper location for this post, but, what the heck.

I am doing some consulting for a clothing manufacturer, and they would like to
do inventory using Bar Codes.  I know there are bar code readers that hook
directly into the keyboard or RS232 of an IBM compatible, however, does anyone
know of a stand alone, self contained storage/power, which can then dump the
accumulated data into a computer, either by floppy or serial port?

I know portable bar code readers exist, I've seen them in stores.  But I do not
know whether they interface directly with a computer, are self contained storage
or perhaps are connected via radio to the storage device.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Marc
