The privately-held 80-person company, which has just opened a US office in Burlingham, Massachusetts, claims to have turned over the equivalent of $7m last year. Datafit claims Sun CEO Scott McNealy was bowled over at how the company had managed to create such an advanced environment using JavaStation technologies. The JavaStation NC BeanStore was running in conjunction with a new POS device Sun has designed to drive multiple POS peripherals supporting a printer, cash drawer, customer display, scanner and credit card reader. It also delivers POS peripheral management from within the Java environment. Datafit says it will offer the bridge OEM. ![]() ![]() The JavaBean-based BeanStore uses Sun’s JDK 1.1.3 and 1.1.6 software and HotJava interface but its big advantage – at least until Sun creates a device driver model or registry system for Java – has written native Java drivers for Sun JavaStations and IBM Network Stations plus a bridge which maps JavaPOS interfaces running on Windows POS terminals to Microsoft Corp OLE point-of-sale (OPOS) drivers. UK company Datafit Ltd is leading the charge to supply development software for creating Java point-of-sale (JPOS) applications and this week had its new BeanStore application environment running in a host of demonstrations at the National Retail Federation show in New York.
