What Is The Eclipse Workstation?

Connecting Peripherals to the Eclipse

Connecting Peripherals to the Eclipse

The following section describes how to connect a variety of devices to the Eclipse
Front I/O Panel.

USB Floppy Disk Drive

The TEAC Model FD-05PUB Floppy Disk Drive with USB Interface is the only
supported Eclipse Floppy Disk Drive. Other USB drives may not function. The drive
is available at your local computer supply store, or through MICROS with P/N
700352-085.
Although a Floppy Disk Drive is not required in most day-to-day POS applications, it
is required to configure a hard disk, or run disk based diagnostics software.
The default BIOS settings are configured to boot from the USB Floppy Disk Drive if
it is attached and a diskette in place. If the Floppy Disk Drive is not installed, or a
bootable disk is not present in the drive, the workstation will boot from the Hard Disk
or LAN as required.

USB Floppy Diskette Drive Letters

This section describes how the Drive Letter designation of the USB Floppy Disk
Drive behaves before and after the USB floppy drivers are installed.
DOS
When booted to the DOS command line, or to the Windows 95/98 command
prompt, the drive functions as a standard A: Drive.
Windows 95
When installed with a copy of Windows 95 where the USB upgrade
(USBSUPP.EXE) has not been applied, the USB Floppy Disk Drive appears as
the A: drive in Explorer. This is how the Windows 95 version of the Eclipse hard
disk image is supplied.
If you run the USBSUPP.EXE patch (located in c:\b\usbsupp) to upgrade
Windows 95 USB capabilities, two instances of the Floppy Drive appear in
Explorer. The first, drive A, produces an error message if you attempt to access it.
A second Floppy driver letter representing the TEAC USB Floppy will appear
after the last hard disk or hard disk partition hard drive letter.
Windows 98
When connected to an Eclipse running Windows 98, two instances of the Floppy
drive appear in Explorer. The first, drive A, produces an error message if you
attempt to access it. A second Floppy driver letter representing the TEAC USB
Floppy will appear after the last hard disk partition drive letter.
Windows NT 4.0
To use the USB Floppy under Windows NT 4.0, you must install the TEAC USB
Floppy drivers. This driver is supplied on the NT 4.0 image, but is not installed by
default.
