An Open System Environment
The 6100 Operating System consists of standard MSĆDOS, version 5.0, and WinĆ
dows, version 3.1.
One of the major benefits of this openĆsystem approach is that you can acquire
development equipment and software from many different vendors, including
Intermec Technologies Corporation. This provides you with wide latitude in seĆ
lecting the equipment and software tools that are best suited to your particular
development needs. The challenge lies in finding pieces that work well together,
especially when you are working in the areas of communications and interfaces.
If you have DOS and/or Windows programming experience, you will quickly feel
comfortable with the PEN*KEY 6100 platform.
Introduction to the 6100 Computer

33 MHz), with some exceptions, as described below.
How the Hardware is Different

computer, with input from finger touch, stylus, keyboard, or scanner. It has inteĆ
grated communications and various combinations of external and/or internal peĆ
ripherals. It is designed for a mobile environment.
Processor
The 6100 Computer contains an AMD ELAN 386 33 MHz processor.
Display
The 6100 Computer features a backlit, LCD, touchĆsensitive display. The normal
mode is landscape, but most applications use a rotated screen (portrait mode).
The physical display is the size of a 1/4 VGA (240 x 320 pixels). However, it uses
a CGA controller.
User Input
The keyboard consists of a builtĆin numeric keypad with control keys. Much of
the user input is done using touch, pen, or barĆcode scanning.
