Going waaaaay back, there was/is a company that produced
a cash register with 5250. I do not recall the name.

You could always look at the IBM POS.... that has
certainly been attached to any number of Iseries going
waaay back.

Most, if not all are windows based and that
would not be a real stretch to transfer data or even
direct file updates to the Iseries.

 I got over 1400 hits searching on POS at the Iseries
web site.

Hi guys,

I need some advise on "Point of Sale" hardware.

We have a store with two POS(Wasp) systems that are using Wasp software and
hardware. We have to upload/download inventory, convert data, etc.... It does
not work smoothly....... we have 2 stand a long Wasp Quick store systems: (http://www.waspbarcode.com/point_of_sale/quickstore_pos_bundle_p.asp <http://www.waspbarcode.com/point_of_sale/quickstore_pos_bundle_p.asp> ) We would like to write Cash Register software that will work directly with our inventory files and merge into our existing applications.

1. Is there any POS software with open source? 2. What hardware is the best to use? 3. How can I make iSeries(model 9406 V5R2M0) to communicate with a Wasp cash register? 4. Is there a special API's to open the cash drawer?

Thank you in advance Gary
