I spoke to an NCD guy the other day about keyboards, and he said that
any PS2 compatible keyboard should work (I have _not_ verified this) on
their X terminals. So if you can find a barcode reader that is designed
to go inbetween a PS2 and its keyboard, you should be able to use it on
an NCD. I guess the codes would appear as fast key press/release sequences.
Tim.
