The PCL-25/25SR and PCL-1100/1100SR are the PC-compatible member of the Transtech Systems hand held product family. They are rugged implementations of the industry-standard PC, designed to run MS-DOS® and the vast majority of DOS-based PC applications. Featuring a large-screen Liquid Crystal Display with standard monochrome CGA text and graphics. A high-speed serial port allows use of off-the-shelf PC communications products.

The PCL-25 and PCL-1100 feature 2MB of system RAM and 384KB of Flash-based, System storage with an optional Solid State Disk (SSD) avaliable (2MB-16MB in increments of 2MB). The PCL-25SR and PCL-1100SR feature 2MB of system RAM, 384KB of Flash-based, System memory and an internal 2MB SRAM drive. Your choice of a RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 or CMOS/TTL serial interface, with an optional second RS-232 port. The PCL-1100/1100SR employs the latest in nickel metal hydride battery technology and power management techniques for double the charge life of conventional nickel cadmium cells without "charge memory" problems.

Unlike bulky and awkward so-called "hand held" PCs, the PC-Lite family is actually designed for comfortable one-handed use. PC-Lite cases are molded from General Electric Cycolac® ABS, one of the most durable, chemical-resistant materials available. Keypad surfaces are securely framed and clamped into place to ensure excellent splash resistance and prevent curling or peeling of the keypad overlay. Stock and custom keypad layouts with 45, 32, 30, 20, and 15 keys are available.
