AVE makes VSI Pro (among others) interface which they configure for virtually every cash register you're likely to see.  You usually
need the VSI PRO and a cable, plus a data converter.  The converters mostly cost the same as the cables.  The VSI PRO is more but
it's a no-brainer to set up.

Here's a chart of register makes and models with the AVE parts.
