Somebody 2 years ago forwarded an email to me with questions about making a new install CD for there ATM machines. Turns out they where still using OS/2 2.1! Most machines also had low processing power. Thats why you see textscreens mostly!
And besides OS/2 can run on just about any hardware. Look here, www.os2warp.be. Firewire, 1 gigabit NIC's, USB, plenty of video and IDE chipsets supported. If you look a little futher you can run video's and fancy graphics without any problem on OS/2/eComStation.
So a large part of the arguments to use OS/2 is kind of based on quicksand. If you want your ATM to run OS/2, you can do that. Its not hard:-)
