Advance Connectivity
There are a wide variety of interfaces built into the ST-71 which include leading edge USB V2 (24V and 5V) and powered serial (5V and 12V) which reduces the need for external power adaptors. Also RS-232C serial ports for existing peripherals and 32-bit PCMCIA slot.
This advanced connectivity will ensure that the ST-71 will work, not only with existing peripherals, but those likely to be released in the future, essential for low total cost of ownership.
