   but
 I really don't have space for more than  one. 

 If anyone here does get one, I've got a simple  Arduino UNO program that
 interfaces to the parallel output and sends  fully decoded information  over
...
  USB at quite high speeds. The M-1000-L  is a great
reader, very reliable,
 and easy to work on too (I did a  little routine maintenance, but mine was
 in 100% working shape when I  got it).

 Here's a video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N27Mr199I7g 
There's also  Brian Knittel's USB interface for the Documation  readers:

I built one, and it works well.
