So my question is could you, would you, create a retail terminal that does
NOT use Windows? Could you do it with IBM i? Or have you already done so!?


Yes. We wrote, offer, and support a POS application for school-lunch
cashiers. The magnetic stripe reader is just an alternative to keyboard
input. The POS terminal is just a web browser, which runs on i/OS, Android,
Mac, Linux, in addition to Windows.

The back-end is written in ILE RPG.

At first, I wondered if you were asking about attaching a magnetic stripe
reader to say a USB port on a Power System, running IBM i. I couldn't see
the point of that.
