I'd look for what's refered to as a keyboard wedge type of system. The
idea is that the scanner "wedges" in between the computer and the
keyboard, and when things are scanned, the computer sees it just as
typing. While I don't have any brand reccomendations, you should be able
to find something on eBay. Then it should be relatively simple to adapt
any of the excellent keyboard decoding apps on the PIC.
