CHAPTER 4 System Limitations In compact and highly integrated systems like the TPC-1560, there are several limitations to operate. This chapter intends to unveil them to avoid confusing users.
4.1 Compatibility with IBM MicroDrive The IBM MicroDrive is one of the newly developed storage devices in these years. Unlike other devices of similar form factors, the IBM MicroDrive is defacto a hard disk driver rather than solid-state disk. It therefore provides a storage solution of lower cost-per-megabyte than SSD such as CompactFlash card or DiskOnChip. This is especially crucial for embedded applications. The TPC-1560 is designed to be compatible with IBM MicroDrive.
4.2 System Hibernation and Resuming In some operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows Me, there is function to set the system hibernated. When the function is activated via operating system, the hardware controlling circuitry suspends most operations of system components. This makes the system get into power saving mode, or "deep sleep". Then it can be resumed by request. Unlike turning off power, hibernation lets the system still keep data in RAM.
4.4 USB Devices There are two USB ports on the TPC-1560. The TPC-1560 has proved to work well with USB floppy disk drives and CD-ROM drives. Note that all USB devices require drivers to operate normally. They are not plug-and-play at all. Furthermore, so far there is not USB driver for DOS. This implies that it is impossible to have FIRST TIME SETUP of Microsoft Windows from USB CD-ROM. 4.
CHAPTER 5 System Tuning From time to time it is necessary to tune system settings from the defaults. The most common ones are included in this chapter.
5.1 LCD contrast tuning 5.1 LCD brightness tuning The display brightness of the TPC-1560 is designed to be adjustable. Remove the screw on the CPU board cover. Then slide the CPU board cover toward the PC/104+ slot. Take away the CPU board cover. Figure 5.1-1 Adjust LCD contrast Figure 5.
There is a variant resistor near the upper edge of the opening. Use a blade screwdriver to adjust the LCD brightness so that it looks good in certain surrounding lighting. Figure 5.1-3 Adjusting the LCD brightness 5.2 Touchscreen calibration 5.2.1 DOS/Windows Family Please find out the DOS and Windows 95/98 touchscreen drivers in the support CD. The TPC-1560 touchscreen drivers support DOS/Windows 9x/Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows Me.
