How about just writing the few dozen lines of C is actually takes to
prod a few bits in the framebuffer, write some stuff on the screen, talk
to the card reader a bit, and make the dispenser chuck out some money?
OK, you're right, it probably *is* faster to take some code that
somebody else already wrote. But I still think grabbing the relevant
parts of (say) the Linux kernel is going to be quicker and easier than
porting the entire Windows OS (most of which you don't need) to a new
platform and trying to make it work...
