Well I did not phone around, but I did go on the vendor web site for the autoloader and it turns out that there is no option to install a barcode reader for this particular model. Great....
I missed the change from double to single digits in the countdown yesterday, sorry about that. I guess you will have to make do with knowing that there is now 8 days 11 hours and change before the move begins in earnest. I guess that means that I better get my act together and my stuff in boxes...
Good night!
