I made a similar post elsewhere in this forum as a question to a specific user, but I'd like to open it up to the forum.

I'm looking for OSX compatible POS equipment. Cash Drawer, Receipt printer, Barcode scanner, Pole display, and Card Reader.

Does anyone have a model of any of these types of equipment to recommend for OSX?

Apple has a good article on it. Its

The last two - Troi and AcmeTech - are there for the plugins. Troi makes a serial plugin which is needed to communicate with a cash drawer. Acme has a credit card authorisation plugin.

There are tons of barcode scanners out there. I favor the ones made by HHP - the 3800 is a fantastically sturdy unit, for example - but it will all depend on what exactly you want.

Good luck.
