System Memory
System memory is provided via DRAM and flash memory modules.
"
Flash memory provides storage for executable and system files.
"
6200 Series computers have 512 KB, except the 6210 with 1 MB
"
6300 Series computers have 1 MB
At the time of this publication, the following flash versions were available:
"
6200 and 6210, 0.5 MB flash, version 1.61
"
6210, 1 MB flash, version 1.00
"
6300 and 6360, 1 MB flash, version 1.60
"
DRAM memory:
"
6200 Computer has 2 MB, and can be expanded to 4 MB.
"
6210 Computer can have 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 MB of system RAM.
"
6300 Series computers have 4 MB, and can be expanded to 12 MB.
Input, Output, and Storage Devices
PC Card
The PC Card slots are used for nonvolatile SRAM or flash data storage, radio,
radio or land modems, or other devices. System resources, which are available to
the applications, may also be stored on the flash drive. PC Card supports one
ATA type III flash or two ATA type II cards.
"
NOTE:
Throughout this publication, cards that conform to the PC Card interface standard (new stan-
dard) or the PCMCIA interface standard (old standard) are commonly referred to as, “PC
Card xxxxx” (where xxxxx consists of modem, drive, or other device type), or “PC Card” (re-
ferring to the standard or to a card). This is because PC Card is becoming the accepted in-
dustry term for a storage medium that conforms to one of these standards.
Infrared Printing
IrDA printing is also available.
Serial Data Communications
Data communications (TCOM) takes place through standard ports. Transfer of
data takes place on a regular basis; in most applications, it is one or more times
daily; and in wireless applications, it is on a realĆtime basis. Intermec supplies
methods and utilities for management of communications.
System Environments
The 6200 and 6300 System Environments should be kept in mind, while writing
applications for them. Each of the HHCs may have different processors with
different speeds. They each use a flash memory file system, and have a builtĆin
VGA viewing screen. Application programmers need to remember the
constraints listed previously; and the flash file system, which is usually kept
writeĆprotected and to which cannot be written.
The 6200 Series computers have no external keyboard capability. Each of the
computers contains a builtĆin keypad with a limited number of keys. Most of the
scan codes returned are the same as standard PCs.
Hardware Ports
For information relating to the communication ports, addresses, IRQs, and
devices supported for the hardware ports, see Section 7.
