The following section describes the hardware and software features of the
Workstation 5A.
Workstation 5A
The MICROS Workstation 5A is a diskless Windows Embedded CE 6.0 client,
and is also capable of running WIN32 operating systems such as Windows
Embedded POS Ready 2009. It uses the same casework, LCD and touchscreen
as the original Workstation 5, but the system board, chassis and power supply
are new.
The WS5A System Board is based on the Intel Atom N450, a mobile platform
that improves both processor and graphics performance, while at the same time
maintains the reliability of the original Workstation 5 diskless and fan-less
design.
The Workstation 5A is similar in appearance to the Workstation 5 as shown in
the illustration below. Figure 1-1 points out the primary external operator
features of both workstations.

resistive touchscreen, and 3-Track Mag Stripe Reader.
