I wrote the Point of Sale software 1993 for the stock 64 (or SX but
it runs on C128 and plus/4 just fine too - except screen blank must
be changed/removed) with one disk drive, an SX64 monitor and a
Citizen 2 color (3 3/4 inch paper rolls). I have it stored to the 32
K Quick brown Box so it auto boots like a PROM cartridge. I have had
2 shareware clients for this; one is still using a C64 for her Avon
business and loves it especially the printed receipt. Her fellow Avon
vendors marvel at her pro-looking printout - until they hear the name
Commodore that is.
The program stores files in Paperback/Pocket Filer format - this is
so I can use PF to calculate the sales taxes from the files. I had
planned to add the open drawer feature but I have had a problem
finding a p/S for powering the drawer and I wanted to add a small LED
or LCD display to show the total to the customers.
