Yep, that's right. I picked one of these scanners up several years ago, and it
came bundled with a bunch of booklets containing Acorn User listings in
barcode format.

I can scan them in if they're of interest to anyone?!

> Does anyone know how to make such a scanner??

No idea, but they do appear on eBay every so often if you're after one.

Actually, there happens to be one at the same place I found the 6502 Co-Pro!
