If the terminals are being used with Hard Disk units the speed of opening and closing will be
slower because of disk access time. In order to speed this up a new setting has been
introduced which allows the products to be processed an a RAM Drive which now sets up
automatically on terminal boot-up.

A new setting has been introduced in  RINCS.CFG :-

REM =========MASS PRODUCT SUPPORT========

REM TO ALLOW FASTER PROCESSING OF PRODUCT FILES GREATER THAN 1000
REM REMOVE REM BELOW (BASEFAST={drive name}:)

REM N.B SET D: IF DIP SWITCH 3,4,5 ON
REM N.B SET F: IF DIP SWITCH 3,4 ON
REM N.B SET E: IF DIP SWITCH 3,5 ALL ON

REM BASEFAST=E:

It should be noted that this setting needs to be set according to the Terminal configuration.

During the Opening and Closing routines it will be noticed that the terminal reports “copying
from Fast Drive” this means the feature is functioning.
