The BEETLE card (optional)
The BEETLE card, a memory card the size of a credit card, provides the
BEETLE POS system with a standardized storage medium. The card has
a number of advantages over other storage media, such as floppy disks.
These include:
■
High storage capacity
■
Compactness and thus low space requirements
■
Mechanical robustness/no wear on rotating mechanical parts
■
High data security (not magnetically sensitive)
■
Relatively insensitive to moisture and heat
■
Rapid data access (no mechanically moving parts)
BEETLE cards have a large number of applications. For example, they
can be used to:
■
Load programs
■
Save data (e.g. daily sales figures)
■
Implement access control (“electronic key”)
There is an internationally valid standard for BEETLE cards
(PCMCIA/JEIDA). This means you can use the same type of card from
different manufacturers.
The BEETLE /20 lets you use cards with a storage capacity of up to
64 MB.
