IBM POS systems are very much like standard Intel®-based workstations. There
is a motherboard with an Intel x86 processor, memory, graphics adapter and
network interface card. In addition there is also one or more USB interfaces.
However, there are also some diferences: A POS system typically has several
peripheral devices attached, including but not limited to;
A keyboard, specifically designed for the point-of-sale system
A touch screen
A barcode scanner
A scale
A sensor (to verify the customer puts the item in the bag)
A credit-card reader with signature type pad or pin code keyboard
A cash-drawer
A printer for receipts
