Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhm! Sorry, I've never used a barcode reader and I didn't 
notice that it's used as a keyboard... But... if you're using the keyboard 
plug for the barcode reader... where are you pluggin your keyboard? erm... or 
is it the barcode reader plugged directly into the koha server which does not 
need a keyboard? is it? or has a workstation just for reading barcodes in 
each client?

Erm... do we have a case diagram about how koha works? I think I'm missing a 
lot of points, sorry :'-((((
