You are meant to get the \'proper\' cable from them, but I cant see why you cant just get a serial to usb cable for pcworld or somewhere.

Should work, RS232 operates at such a slow speed, I used to sell these Serial to USB adapters.
Let us know how you get on, want to go the datalogic route myself.

Cheers,

Mart.
