+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 12, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted April 12, 2007 Yeah a lot of machines like that use Windows in England at least. Like Job Points at the job centre, ATM's, or those Self-Serve Pay-Points in supermarkets. They're all using Windows NT. Makes you wonder why they need all those desktop shortcuts just for a lowly ATM though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_f Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I wonder if it has a PS/2 port somewhere? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japlabot Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'm more than sure that it is Windows NT, rather than 98 (NCR use NT quite a lot). OS/2 is also still very popular in ATMs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Most likely to be NT Workstation yeah! Nice secure plaform for this sort of thing. Not retarded at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 12, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted April 12, 2007 XP...... ....... Floppy? Does not compute! I remember when I went to America, I put my (british) Cirrus card into an ATM. ANd it broke the machine. So I went to another, and I broke that one as well. I came by later and a guy was servicing them both, the innards. Oops. Sorry if you live in Tukwila. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse91 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I saw an information point for the London Borough of Newham running Windows 2000 Pro (the screensaver was active) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Most ATM's use an embedded version of Windows XP in Canada now. Lazer Cash, BMO, TD, they use Windows XP Embedded or Windows CE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
»X« Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 This reminded me of one I snapped a while back. As I was withdrawing money the machine just blacked out and I lost my card, the result: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmarE D Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 How old are those ATM's? I haven't seen any with those huge buttons in years. I worked at a store once where the one we had in there messed up and it was running XP. A guy come in and fixed it pretty quick and I didn't get a chance to see exactly how he did it. He was pretty quick about it. I did see him plug something in that looked like a PS2 port, but that's it. You have to figure that there's a port for a keyboard somewhere in it to let them control it.

The banks in Canada still have those "huge" buttons on them ... th ink about it, the elderly can't easily touch small buttons so they make em 'huge' for them.

TokyoKiller Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Wow, that is some seriously old tech. Here in Canada, most banks have upgraded their systems recently. Specially CIBC, but I use TD Canada Trust, which also has a pretty nice system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samboini Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 So with the right know-how and a keyboard you could do the ATM over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well... Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 If you could get acess, You know banks lock these things up pretty tight.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpotato Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 So with the right know-how and a keyboard you could do the ATM over? If you could open the machine and get access to the keyboard port, I'm pretty sure It would be easier to just grab the money from inside the machine rather than fiddling around with a keyboard trying to get it to eject money. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Oz Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 ^^ its relatively easy to find the keyboard port, to make it eject money is neigh on impossible from what i kno, but its more difficult still to access the money. Dont ask how i kno.. i just do :shiftyninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNWDweller Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Not going to name where I saw it as it is against rules to point this stuff out, but I remember seeing on a site where they gave certain key sequences to hit on the machine, and it would access the setup menus. There was a guy who would program the machines to dispense an extra bill for each one he withdrew so he ended up doubling the money. The machine would only think it gave 1 instead of two at a time. He eventually got nabbed like most people out there who brag about it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim_Az Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I've come across this once or twice, I think small ATMs in newsagents and such run on older operating systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
