Compact Flash

The optional compact flash replaces the hard drive in the unit. The 64MB compact flash is large enough to support a Windows CE load. The 256MB compact flash can be used in a Windows XP embedded environment. When using the Windows XP embedded OS, an additional 128MB SDRAM SODIMM is required to support the necessary virtual memory requirements.

NCR Retail Specific Hardware

The Processor Board contains logic that provides support for the custom retail interface. The logic controls the following features:

Dual Cash Drawer Support

Cash Drawer Diagnostic Support

Magnetic Stripe Reader Interface

Motion Detector

Touch Screen Interface

An integrated retail specific feature of the processor is the cash drawer circuitry. The onboard circuitry internal to the board provides the control for two external cash drawers. A portion of the POS Board header (J6) is provided on the board to interface to the dual cash drawer connector. Header J6 only contains the control signals; it does not provide power. Software controls the cash drawer(s) through I/O port 00Exh. This means it can be I/O ports E0/E1h, E2/E3h, E4/E5h, or EA/EBh depending on the configuration of the SMC I/O controller’s GPIO port(s). Default setting is E0/E1h.
