I just got win 7 ultimate and I'm testing it out on a POS test box and so far I'm pretty happy with it except that it does not support the onboard video of this s***box due to a lack of drivers (ive tried everything trust me googled it for hours). So I'm just wondering if anyone here has a old PCI card laying around collecting dust just so i can make things look half decent and watch videos without glitching.

what's the onboard vid?

you can hax up Vista and XP drivers yourself for Win7

I have some old pci video here at work, I know will do courier for you if u like.

Out of interest why win7 on a pos system why not wepos or sim. Or you referring to Piece Of s***, as opposed to point of sale

When i use to install touch screen POS in hotels. I always had to disable everything relating to windows desktop so if the staff managed to minimise the POS program they could not do anything like browse the internet. I had to fix one slow POS unit once when I checked the web browsing history and found the staff member had gone on a late night porn surfing sesh. They usually get internet on their network because the useless hotels use to share their internet accross the one network they had.

Integration with camera systems or prescreen music video clips in bars when using something like cms

Haha Tiny. If I wanted to be that tight I'd just run a whitelist. Heaps of commercial companies with the internet do this. Angus & Robertson, for example - the best you can access online from their terminals is the Amazon website :-)))

It just so happens I am deploying a couple of wepos terminals at the moment, swapping out s***ty javalins to FIRICH VOUGE terminals (not the greatest fan but anyway) at least the unit has a cast al chassis, I'm waiting though for the s***ty proprietary lpt adapter port to get broken.

Also the till kickers are f***ed because someone decided to beerify the psu's so swapping out the electrics has been a pain in the arse when they have custom size drawers, seriously who in the f*** uses 350mm wide drawers. I would have preferred to put in a couple of cheap arse drawers and be done with it but... anyway. Also had the pleasure of destroying a posiflex drawer who some dips*** glued shut (diff client).... yes glued shut, so smashing that f***er open was fun and added a crowbar to my toolbox.

Back to the op, I've got some s3 cards if your really keen you can pay postage but don't expect them before the 7-10th of jan, post office hit its cut point for oe deliveries
