Another Till on eBay with DH-POS installed!

Post by Alan » Wed Mar 24, 2004 4:25 pm

Found another Till on eBay with DH-POS installed!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... gory=11891

Its an IBM SureOne 4614, the peripherals won't work with DH-POS, and i'm amazed how he managed to get Windows 95 running with 4Mb of RAM! I know its possible but you need to do some tweaking from what I remember!

If the keyboard is PS/2 it may be able to work with DH-POS but the printer and cash drawer might not. The cash drawer is 36Volts and I'm unsure if its using an RS-485 interface or not (may be able to fire using dos)

I'm now the proud owner of an IBM SureOne 4694-207, upgraded to PIII/850, 160Mb RAM, 20Gb HDD running Windows 2000! Alas its the narrow footprint version which has no Parallel port on the backplane :(

So...all we need to do is find some hole in the time-space continuum so after work, Dale can go there, code DHPOS. Then, when he's done a few hours there he can slip back into real-time to run this secondhand project and get some sleep.

It's a long shot, but it's a chance I am willing to take. :roll:

Oh, you *can* get it to work, but don't try and keep your records on it or try to be too efficient

I don't think they even mentioned the DHPOS website or even the name of the software. They did have pictures of DHPOS running though.

Windows 95 will run fine on 4 mb of RAM, if you have the version for 386 and 486 based computers :lol: . My terminals where I work will most likely run with 5x86 Based systems which have 4 mb integrated RAM on them. I have an old version of Windows on floppies ( yes on floppies) and it works fine ... a little slow but still quite well. :D

My Terminals are AMD 2200+ with Windows XP! :)
The seller said the cash drawer worked and the scanner worked. But and it says there is a paralell port for the printer.
