A portable DHPOS system.

[ZeeMan]

I am not sure if this is in the right forum but I figure this is the best place because I am not actually selling this product.
Ok, here it goes:
I am subscribed to this magazine that has an ad on the back about Psion Teklogix (http://www.psionteklogix.com). I went to the site and found this really cool portable DOS system with IBM DOS 7.0. As I remember, it says that DHPOS should work on any DOS system so I figure it should work on this. The page is at http://www.psionteklogix.com/assets/ani ... specs.html but you need flash to view it so I am going to sum it up for those without Flash.

Microprocesser and Memory:
32-bit 486 DX, 66 MHz with 8 cache
4 MB Flash ROM, expandable to 8 MB

Operating System:
IBM DOS 7.0

Displays:
8255 VFD - Vaccume fluorescent Backlight
8255 LCD - Super twist FSTN LCD Backlight
8260 LCD - Super twist FSTN LCD Backlight
8260 EL - Electroluminescent Active Area display

Narrowband Transmission Power:
2 Watts, North America; 0.01 to 2 watts, International Data rate: 4.8, 9.6 or 19.2 Kbps channels: 1 to 6

Operating Temperature:
8255 and 8260 Standard Operating Temp: 14 degress F to 140 degree F/-10 Degrees C to 60 degrees C Humidity: 5 - 95% relative humidity, non-condensing
Freezer Version:
8255 and 8260 Freezer Variants Operating Temp: -22 degrees F to 140 degrees F/-30 degrees C to 60 degrees C Humidity: 5 - 96%, freezer condensing

Keyboards:
55 silicon rubber, backlight, low impact keys: ABC, QWERTY or AZERTY format

There it is. I don't know if anyone even cares about this but I'm pretty sure there are a few people who want to know.

Another portable POS system, running DHPOS and built by our own Dale - http://www.keyhut.com/

The One That I'm Looking At Is Smaller
But You Have A Good Point Custom Built By Dale And It Does A Lot More!

Yeah, but a small PC/104 system would be nice! One with VGA and IDE interfaces would let you hook up a hard drive and monitor and keyboard on COM1 and have a working mini-POS!

Even better just get a Mac Mini running a DOS emulator... (Aopen are doing a PC clone of it...)

For those that are looking for small POS base units in the UK, then try and look around for a second user Elonex Book PC or Lumina (or one of the earlier PC4xx series with small case)

Elonex continue to make new PCs, the ProSentia 1050 is an all-in-one with 15" TFT, it even has serial & parallel ports - perfect for an EPOS system - the whole lot would sit on top of a counter or a cash drawer.

Another system that i'm dying to get my hands on is a Wyse Winterm with built in CF card hard drive (runs embedded NT 4.0e, new ones are XPe) These things are quite small and are just adequate to run POS. I've got a normal dumb terminal Winterm but I need to have a Terminal Server for it.
