NEED HELP BAD!! Willing to pay cash for info!

[blueblade]

Here is my delima.. I need to find a way to hook up a dollar bill accepter to the computer. I know that the bill accepter sends out small pulse tones (just like coin doors) but I don't know how many pulses it shoots out for each denomination. Here is my story.. I am starting up a small business. This is going to be a cyber cafe. Just so you know, I have very strong programming skills so the programming is not a problem. I need to figure out where I can get a bill validater that hooks up to the computer (wether is is via serial or printer port,really doesn't matter)  OR I need a way to hot wire one to the keyboard kinda like you do with your mame machines (coin door).

I really need your help bad because I can not figure this out and I can not go forward with my buisness without this step. Please. I am offering a cash reward for information (proof) on how to do this. Cash reward will be $100.00 USD If this is too low, please let me know and we can work something out. Thank you all for reading this.

If you are serious about this (and not just looking for a hack), go to the Happs website.  They sell validators and PC interfaces.

This is not a cheap solution (but judging from your "reward" it looks like money isn't an issue).
