- WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED TO OPERATE DRDINING?
-
-
-
- DRDINING has been designed to use standard DOS computers. It requires a
- 386 or better computer, with a hard drive for data storage, 4 mb RAM and
- a floppy drive for loading, and for archiving and backup. It requires a
- standard keyboard, and a VGA monitor (colour or black/white). It
- requires a printer to print checks.
-
- It can make use of a "preprogrammed keyboard", colour monitor, magnetic
- stripe reader, and LAN software for restaurants with more than one
- station. It can make use of printers at other locations, such as the
- kitchen, or bar.
-
- For a small restaurant with a single station, we suggest a 386 computer
- running at 40 MHz or 66 MHz, with at least a 80 mb hard drive, 4 mb
- RAM, a colour VGA monitor, a standard keyboard, a roll-type printer for
- checks, and a 9-pin dot matrix printer for reports.
-
- For a larger operation, we recommend a LAN such as LANTASTIC or Novell,
- a 486 server with 386 stations, with 8 mb RAM in the server and at least
- 2 mb RAM in the workstations, and a larger hard drive. A busy
- restaurant, doing no data archiving might consume 4-8 mb hard disk space
- in a month.
-
- We suggest for restaurants with more than 3 or 4 stations a
- client/server type of LAN such as Novell, or LANtastic `dedicated
- server' in order to maintain operating speed at the maximum.
