      Could have been made by someone local. They are likely using the SD card drive by now. I hope… I didn’t get to read the full article as it asked me to sign in and I aborted.

    Why create e-waste and spend money you don’t have to when your existing retro hardware not only works fine but gives customers something to talk about?

    I wish more people thought this way.

    The C64 Mini and C64 Maxi are readily available today and affordably priced, making spare parts easily accessible.

    If those work well enough for them, I cannot see any benefit of upgrading.

    How do they save transactions reliably? To floppy? Or tape?

    What if the disk/tape is full.

    I love it, but seems a bit flakey

      They make user port carts with SD cards that basically function as hard drives these days (though I doubt they would be using them). There is also paper as a record which may meet any requirements they have.
