Wow. How do you even start trying to write a driver?

    By looking at the documentation supplied by the manufacturer, scratching your head in disbelief and deciding to give up. :)
    But seriously, you won't believe the horrible misprints and ommisions one can find in documentation provided by Romanian manufacturers...

      This is a very interesting use. PLEASE write an article about the program and post it in the code catacombs. This is the kind of thing I would like to read about. If I can find one of those cash registers I will probably try to duplicate your work. PLEASE provide as many details as possible.
        Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation the last couple of weeks. I'll post an article on the driver as soon as I can. As for duplicating my setup with the cash register, I'd be happy to see it used by others, but I doubt you'll be able to get hold of the same model of cash register that I use, since it's manufactured only in Romania by some obscure company that doesn't even have an export licence. But I think the driver could still be usable with some modifications with any cash register that has a serial interface.
