NAME

     ptcd -- support for the Protech PS3100 cash drawer port


SYNOPSIS

     ptcd* at isa? port 0x48d
     gpio* at ptcd?


DESCRIPTION

     The ptcd driver controls the cash drawer port of the Protech PS3100 point
     of sale terminal using the GPIO subsystem.

     ptcd provides a GPIO device with two pins: pin 0 is used to control the
     cash drawer while pin 1 can be used to read the current state of the
     sense input pin.  A logical 0 means the cash drawer is closed, a logical
     1 means the cash drawer is open.

     To open the cash drawer, set pin 0 to logical 1 for a short period of
     time (e.g. < 1 sec) and then reset the pin to logical 0.

AUTHORS

     The ptcd driver was written by Marc Balmer <marc@msys.ch>.


CAVEATS

     As it is not possible to detect the hardware at runtime, this driver,
     when enabled, will always attach.  Only enable it in your kernel configu-
     ration if you have the proper hardware.
