Touch N Go bug at Maybank ATM Desa Park City

last saturday, we went to Maybank at Desa Park City to deposit cheque and to reload Touch N Go...

when my friend tried to place the 'touch n go' at the ATM panel, it prompt to input PIN, its weird, then suddenly....

so

familiar with this screen? haha! yes! it’s really a Windows shut down screen! Luckily my friend got back his card before it shuts down.

After a while, it came to POST screen. Guess what? This ATM runs on Pentium 4 processor with a speed of 2.8GHz, 512MB of DDR 266 RAM, Seagate 80GB Hard disk and a LG CD-ROM drive.

It took quite a long time to came to the XP loading screen, before that I saw that it was doing some diagnostic test. Yes, as an ATM machine, security and diagnostic are really important, device failure could lead to money loss (i think), think that someone withdraw money and the machine failed to tell the server that he had withdrew? (oh..that man damn lucky..)

Here comes the XP loading screen, it’s running on windows XP professional, some people on the net said that some Maybank ATM runs on LINUX, Windows 2000, and even windows ME. The reason that they are not running on Embedded windows is because it lacks of user interface. Ehhm… using XP?? but XP is gonna discontinued, maybe the future ATM is going to install Vista? or Windows 7? Who knows!

starting of Touch N Go program… See that icon beside the time? It’s using intel GMA graphics.

so lucky that I can meet this ATM restart.. hehe
