Technote (FAQ)
Question
What version of the IBM POS Subsystem drivers do you support?
Answer
Support options for the POS Subsystem (POSS) vary depending on what version of POSS is being used.
POSS for DOS
POSSDOS is no longer supported as a stand-alone driver; support expired at the end of 2011 per our announcement in KB # R10004604
POSS for OS/2
POSSOS2 is no longer supported. The OS/2 operating system is no longer supported.
POSS for Linux / POSS for Windows
POSSLIN & POSSWIN are supported as stand-alone drivers, but are not available directly for download from the website. If you wish to use POSS you must download the UPOS drivers, which include a copy of POSS.
(This means we do not support the 1.20 version of POSSLIN, which was the last version available as a stand-alone download)
We support POSS on the same operating systems and for the same amount of time as the UPOS version it was distributed with. For more information refer to KB# R1003632, "Supported OPOS/JavaPOS Versions"
