Dana, I'm asking this more out of ignorance than anything else. Would the front-end terminal need to specifically comply with PCI if it is merely a data entry device and isn't actually storing any information? Not knowing how Walmart's systems are set up, if the XP machine and scanner are hard wired to a back end server that stores and forwards all the data, wouldn't that be the machine that needs to be PCI compliant?
