If the POS system does not find a disk resp. a CD-ROM in drive A:, it
automatically continues the loading process from drive C:.
If drive A: contains a disk no operating system is stored
upon, the POS system cannot be booted. In this case,
either replace the disk with one that is
system-boot-capable or remove the disk altogether.
The operating system responds with additional messages on the
cashier display or monitor, as shown in the illustration below.
If the operating system has started up without error, the POS
application software is automatically booted if necessary.
A message is displayed as soon as the BEETLE /M is ready for
operation. For more detailed information, see the description of your
application program.
BIOS Cluster
At any rate you should check, whether the file CONFIG.SYS contains
an entry for a store manager (like e.g. EMM386.EXE). This entry must
take into account the necessary cluster of 88 KB (segment address
EA000 - EFFFF) for the BIOS. A possible entry would be:
Device= C: \DOS\ EMM386.EXE X=EA00-EFFF NOEMS
