That being said those devices should be considered in scope by the company that is performing their assessment. If they are truly PCI compliant, all of the credit card numbers stored on those devices should be encrypted. I hope that helps.
Unfortunately I've tested companies who have been compliant for years yet I've still found cleartext card data when I've been doing my test. There are also companies regularly hitting the press after getting hacked and finding they weren't encrypting there data. Its not that I don't trust pci more the ability of some auditors and the ability of companies to really know what is in scope.
