In the original Motorola M6800  (not 68K) applications manual there was
a complete construction plan and software, as well as a discussion of
principles of a wand-type bar code reader for reading UPC symbols and
other bar codes.

Unfortunately my only copy got left behind a few dozen jobs ago, so I
can't supply the details.  Maybe somebody who worked with 6800s might
have one.
