-For the TrgPro or HandEra 330, the Socket In-hand laser barcode CF cards or even their CF wand scanners, can be used (not an inexpensive item). -For bluetooth devices this may be an option http://www.baracoda.com/market/anglais/market_pencil_A.html -The are plenty of cheap serial based wand scanners, and even options like the cue cat scanners if you can still find them. The trick has always been the driver. The happy hacking cradle had such a driver, beyond that it gets a little dicey. -Another approach if you don't have too many codes to scan is the CPEN, http://www.cpen.com/Products/Portable/p1 It's a standalone unit that can scan a barcode and then beam it to a PDA via IR.
