Interact will also communicate over any network or operating system that
supports NetBIOS protocols. Examples include Lantastic, TCP/IP, Microsoft,
and IBM.
If you need assistance with NetBIOS and networking, consult your network
administrator or a certified network technician.
CompactFlash
The PA2 PowerStation comes with a CompactFlash (CF) card. The CF is
used as a removable hard drive that is recognized as drive C and provides
non-volatile memory storage. The CF is well-suited for rugged
environments where the PowerStation may vibrate or shake. Although the
CF is removable, it is used as an IDE drive, which means you cannot
remove it while the PowerStation is switched on.
