Opening a cash drawer

Does anyone know how to get a cash drawer to open using
VB? I'm doing a Point of Sale program and figured this
was the easiest way to figure it out. If you know just
email me. Thanks!

What does the documentation of your cash drawer say? It's probably just a
serial device, right?

If the "cash drawer" is connected to the serial port, have a look here:

I believe it's a serial device (I don't have it here
right now...it's still at the store I'm making this for)
but I don't have any documentation (the drawer's at least
10 years old)
