Hello,
I am planning to use this in production environment in a month. I have few questions.
1. Which version should I use? V3 Alpha or 2.99c? Response to my earlier question, some of the good to have features are already available in V3. Is V3 alpha stable enough
? I mean stable enough for only POS functionality? I am not planning to use inventory/reports etc initially.
2. Do we have data migration utility from 299c to V3 Alpha? I have created many actions/rules and product/menu information. I am using SQL CE as a local file.
3. I am planning to use MegTek's Dynamag MSR
http://www.magtek.com/V2/products/secure-card-reader-authenticators/Dynamag.asp which is PCI compliant and provides windows dll/api to integrate with POS. Any experience with this?
4. I am looking into two below setup options. Any suggestions/experience you can share would helpful.
a) Virtual environment : Run two Windows XP/7 virtual machines on quad core I7 with 16GB ram. SQL server will run on Host but both POS terminal will run on guest machine. For virtualization either use VmWare or Virtualbox
b. I have two refurbished low-end IBM SurePOS terminal with 1.2 Ghz processor and 256MB ram. Again SQL Server will run on separate machine (Probably laptop/old desktop).
5. In above both setup scenarios, Can I connect receipt printer on desktop server and share between two POS terminals?
Thanks in advance.
