Compact Flash

The 650 has one Type I/II Compact Flash (CF) memory slot. This slot is only for IDE mode CF devices and is easily accessed on the left side of the unit. The CF card is mapped to a SATA port and supports PIO Mode 0-4. The CF card is normally used for thin client configurations using XPe, CE, WEPOS, or Linux operating systems.

Touch Screen

The 650RT uses a five-wire touch screen rated at 35 million touches per point. The 650RT touch screen was designed to easily be changed, normally in less than ten minutes. The resistive technology is very responsive and is not affected by liquids, dirt, or other foreign matter, unlike IR or SAW touch screens. As with all J2 designed products using resistive touch screens, the 650 includes a water tight gasket for spill resistance.

The 650ST unit uses a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology touch screen. The SAW touch screen has no known failure mode-- it does not “wear out.” This screen is tempered glass and does not reduce the brightness of the LCD panel. When operating in a very high use environment, SAW is the recommended touch screen technology.

Depending on operating environment and usage, both the Resistive and SAW touch screens have strengths and weaknesses. J2 offers both touch screen technologies on the 650.
