Notes
Note on Server OS: A server OS is not needed. For this reason, a server OS is not used in software testing. POSIM should still run on a server OS, but they are not officially supported.
Verifone PinPad 1000SE: Mac OS 10.11 (El Capitan) dropped support for this pin pad. If you upgrade to El Capitan you will need to use our newer EMV-capable devices for pin debit.
Legacy Zebra Printer: Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks) dropped support for the Non Plus LP 2824 printer. If you upgrade to Mavericks or beyond you will need an LP2824 Plus or a Zebra ZD410 Plus label printer.
