Yes, this should be possible. You will have to "break in" to the cables somehow like  
make special connector widgets (for each type of reader system) to tap into the 
data stream. I have a limited experience with RFID readers, but the ones I've looked 
at have been relatively simple ASCII data over RS232. Very easy to understand 
when you you view the data with a terminal program. Five years is a long time to not 
get any help, I understand the frustration and obstacles when asking for technical 
details, it usually boils down to finding the right person to ask.
