The 4 displays I have are 20x2 IBM cash register pole displays. They are mounted with a controller board that connects to the PC by USB.
They had some other type of USB which I changed to work with my home PC and it was recognized. I used a program to read the PC/Display 'conversation' when I plug it in. James found some info on a program called JavaPOS but I wouldn't know how to implement it with Smartie.

Below is the log from the HDD USB Monitor program I used.
