Any barcode scanner with PS/2 keyboard interface will do - it`s 
connected between the keyboard and the computer, so all programs, 
including Koha, will "think" that scanned barcode is a sequence of 
numbers typed on the keyboard. No drivers needed, works anywhere. Just 
remember to check if it supports the barcode type you`re using.
