That's going to be a LOT of very LONG cables running to a really big USB
hub wherever the IBM box resides.

Or, a whole lotta IBM I boxes at the checkout lanes. Actually, I like

And what Larry's saying, I believe, is that in your case, you have
i/OS, Android, Mac, Linux, and Windows as attack vectors.


Okay, so you're suggesting connecting the magnetic stripe reader directly

of
UI requirements might a POS terminal support?
