What kind of interface do your barcode readers use? If they are a "keyboard
wedge" style there shouldn't be anything specail about connecting them and
making them operational - they fit between the keyboard and the I/O socket on
your computer. We've used ID Tech barcode/magcard readers for a couple of
years that have this interface with no problems - they have connectors for
both 5-pin DIN and 6-pin mini-DIN connectors. You may have some issues
pertaining to configuring which barcode patterns they recognize, but those
issues should be covered in any manuals that are supplied.
Good luck!
