MEMORY SYSTEM 1/2MEMORY SYSTEM 1/2 RAM DISK – VDISK Option

It’s possible to create a virtual RAM disk emulating an hard disk in the RAM space left free by the DOS.

Advantages

Indefinite number of writings (flash memory has a very high number of writings but not an infinite number)

Faster

Disadvantages

Memory is lost at the boot Free space

Extended DOS l area (360 K)DOS conventional area (640 K )

Basics on IrDa

IrDa is the universal standardi protocol for Infrared communication between devices (www.irda.org) and it’s composed by an hw layer and some sw layers for a proper handshaking between devices

Not every brand of portable printers supports completely every software layers. As a consequence, to validate a portable printer for our terminals the printer should be tested first. Here is the list of the printers tested directly by us :

COMTEC: Tested on Encore II and Encore III

O’NEIL: Tested on Micro-Flash II

EXTEC: Tested on S3000

SEIKO: Tested on DPU 3445

ZEBRA: Tested on PA400 printer

IrDa Application interfaces

TSR: (Terminate and Stay Resident program) Once installed on the terminal the TSR intercepts every writing attempts to the virtual printer (PRN device) in a complete transparent way.

“type somefile.txt > prn” will redirect the output to the portable printer
