POint of Sale Device

["Gibson, Nathan J. (HSC)" <Nathan-Gibson () OUHSC EDU>]

Does anyone know of a tool/product that can be used to check a credit
card point of sale device to make sure it does not store credit card
information?  To give you a picture of what I am talking about. Let say
you walked into a gas station and purchased a soda with your CC. The
attendant swipes your card in a little black box that sits on the edge
of the counter. It does not tie into an application, just a device with
a modem that sends the information to a bank for processing. I want to
be able to check the device to make sure it is not storing information
locally?

 

Rumor has it, a University somewhere Colorado did this once and I
wondered if anyone knows of any tools/solutions out there that could
help.  Any information about a solution/outside vendor would be greatly
appreciated.
