- 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.
