Another thought: a POS system is probably not targeted to an 80x24 format display. It could be a proprietary sequence of some industrial LCD display controller. You might have to research the application notes of semiconductor houses which have made chips to control LCDs. ...RSS -- K.L. says to try http://www.celestialseasonings.com/products/herb/r.php which, however, contains no caffeine. |
