Ide Flashdisk - Siemens Simatic VS 710 Quick Reference Manual

SIMATIC VS710
Remote Keyboard and Remote Floppy via RS232
You can connect a host PC with a keyboard and diskette drive (floppy) to
the RS232 interface using a serial port cable (zero modem cable). The
Phoenix BIOS sets up a connection through this interface so that the host
keyboard and host diskette drive (read only) can be used as if they were
directly connected to the VS 710.
Note
You can use HOSTKEY to set up the connection with the host PC (see
Section 4.1).

IDE Flashdisk

The VS 710 enables you to use solid-state memory like a hard disk drive.
This "flashdisk" solid-state memory can be used to boot MS-DOS and store
application programs.
Note
The deleting and programming cycles per logical sector of the IDE
flashdisk are limited to 300,000 cycles due to physical properties.
