- geofft 8y agoAre you using existing ATM software that was written for Windows, or was this custom development (i.e., did you choose ReactOS over Windows, or over e.g. Linux)?
- joshumax 8y agoThe hardware drivers for the coin counting ATM machine were provided as precompiled WinNT/CE drivers by the vendor without sources and using ReactOS was easier than reverse engineering them all.
- SeanAnderson 8y agoSeems like a pretty reasonable use case. Thanks for sharing!
- O_H_E 8y agoThat is pretty interesting
- PeCaN 8y agoThat's really cool and IMO a great use case for ReactOS. Sounds like a neat project. Did everything just work out of the box? If so that's pretty impressive on the part of ReactOS.
- qop 8y agoA wrote up about this would almost certainly make the front page of HN. Not that that should be the primary motivation for writing it, but surely the validation won't hurt! Projects like these are the most interesting ones for me to read!
