Hi all,

I have a Laser bar code reader which has an interface to plug into the
serial port of a computer. Is it possible to modify it to make it work
in parallel with a keyboard? I would like the bar code reader to generate
the numbers as if they have been type on keyboard. 

Would this be as easy as finding a converter for it ?

Thanks for your time.
