barcode reader to BS2
Archiver

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.
