I worked for Diebold years ago and still work on ATMs. Originally they where based on 8085 processors from the early 80's till early 90's. With the code set in firmware. There are still several out there. In the early 90's the processor was swiched to pentium based running OS2. Almost all the ATMs I install today are OS2 based. Nearly all machines in 04 and 05 will be changed out or upgraded due to Mastercard 3DES reqirements. This will cause the swing to NT based systems. A few out of country mfg's are making Linux based machines. There would be a lot less problems if US machines were Linux based.
