Re: Connecting a Wincor Nixdorf to a PC

[Lehane Kellett <lehane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes,
It does require a driver card which is WN specific. Mostly they are
piggyback for the EPOS terminal and not PCI, especially the BA7xA range.

Chances of getting one are close to zero, though you may find a
secondhand WN Beetle EPOS terminal with one in and you'd then have to
use that to drive it rather than a PC.
