I would like to connect a cheap barcode reader to a Wyse 160 and a 
Wyse 99GT terminal. The reader I have in mind is usually connected to
a PC compatible between computer and keybord.
The big question is:  Is it possible to connect this reader between
the terminal and the terminals keyboard. I can obtain the 5 pin DIN
(PC-AT keyboard) and the RJ-4/4 (of the Wyse keyboard) stuff, no
problem.
The only trouble I have is that I don't know anything about the Wyse's
pin assignment and whether the signals are the same as the ones on the
PC or not.
 
(e-mail would be fine)
