barcode reader to BS2

Hi
I have a Metrologic MS951 Barcode Reader, keyboard wedge model. I am
trying to read scans into my BS2. I have a 5 pin female DIN and a 6
pin male mini-DIN available from the scanner. Normally one or the
other is plugged into the keyboard socket of the PC.

I tried wiring the data pin of the female DIN to one of my BS2 pins
and reading using SERIN and SHIFTIN, though I suspect that's
incorrect, as it's not serial data.

Has anyone tried this or could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks alot.

Dave.
