How do I connect a Kitchen Monitor to my TX-850

Does anyone know how to connect a monitor to the TX-850?
Which port is used or is it a special card?
What settings need to be changed?
Is it a standard computer type monitor that is used?
Thanks

i very much doubt its a standard pc-monitor
there are no 15 way d types on the machine. i think its a custom kitchen video screen supplied by uniwell, on rs232

Hi
I can only guess but it seems that this is not a regular PC monitor.
Very unlikely that a video signal is generated in the till since this is difficult with longer wires.
I think it's more a terminal which displays the commands coming from the till.
That's why they use RS-485 ports.
It could be done using a netbook PC with terminal software such as HyperTerminal.
But maybe the experts around here can give more detailed information.
Best regards

I spoke to our friendly till supplier and apparently Uniwell have a box that attaches to the 485 port the same as the kitchen printer, the monitor attaches to the box and a keypad allows users to take orders off the screen as they are done. Sounds great, but cost £1000 excluding the monitor though!
Where do I get HyperTerminal?
