[Jon B. <jb...@co...>]

I don't know about bar code integration with MH but you can buy a
modded CueCat off ebay for less than $20.  Its sometimes takes a
couple of swipes but I like mine for the money.  It convets the bars
to ASCII, requires no drivers in any OS I've used it on, and just
behaves like a second keyboards.
