Serial Hardware Interface for external application(repost)

The Serial Hardware Interface (SHI) is to be a small application that runs as a service on the same PC as a Adobe Flash Ui(EUI). The objective of the SHI is to work as an interface between the PC hardware and an Adobe flash UI. The SHI’s job will be to talk to a Ticket Printer and a Magnetic Card Reader on the serial ports as specified in the services settings (a settings form will need to be available to specified which port, speed etc.). The Adobe flash UI (EUI) will send commands via its xmlsocket ([login to view URL]) on a specified port to receive data from the magnetic card reader and to send data to the serial printer. See attached documents for full specs.
