    Not sure if this should be in here cause its a VFD question, or in Software cause it's a software question. I spose it'll get moved to the right 1 :S

    Anyway. I've obtained an old CD5220 Pole display from a broken EPoS system and was thinking I could hook it up to my own PC. I've got the manual for it, and it's got a serial connector, I just have no idea what software might still support it with it being so old.

    The manual's here: http://www.partnertechcorp.com/download/documentation/CD5220_Manual.pdf

    And here's some extra setup information I found on the interweb:
    Control Codes
    Partner Tech CD5220, CD7220:
    Line 1: 12,27,91,72
    Line 2: 27,91,75,13
    Characters per line: 20

    I really dont wanna have to spend a load of time coding my own software for it hehe.

    (yes i already tried google...)

    thanks in advance :)

    [edit]
    I just found these drivers for it on the PartnerTech website, though I'm not sure how useful they'll be yet...

    Hi

    Try using LCDHype (www.lcdhype.de.vu) as it supports the escPOS command set and the manual shows that this device can be set to operate in that mode.

    LCDHype is a German site but the site has an English section and the author will accept queries in English and respond in English.

    Good Luck!
