Peripheral stack
Legacy ports on headers
The TOP600B keeps LPT 2×13-pin, PS/2 and six COM on headers. Receipt printers, scales and card readers connect without protocol converters.
Industry route · Kiosk & POS
Terminals that know their peripherals, and recover on their own.
A kiosk is judged by what hangs off it: receipt printer, card reader, scanner, cash drawer. Some still speak LPT or PS/2. The board has to carry every protocol, ride the store power and return to the same application state without a field visit.

What the terminal asks for
What the application demands
A terminal is a peripheral rack with a screen. Each requirement below maps to a header or a power range on the model datasheet.
Self-recovery
A watchdog instead of a field visit
The TOP600B carries a 0–255 s watchdog and AT/ATX power modes. A hung payment station power-cycles itself and boots back to the application.
Power
Match the supply to the enclosure
DC 12–19V on the TOP600B and AD600NA. The ITX660B takes ATX 24+4-pin where the kiosk chassis already carries a supply.
Recommended boards
Three boards for a terminal fleet.
Headers, power ranges and footprints are quoted as published on each model page. No retail certification is claimed.
Alder / Raptor Lake
TOP600B
Why: LPT, PS/2 and six COM headers plus a 0–255 s watchdog cover legacy printers and unattended self-recovery.

Deployment flow
Map the peripherals first.
List every printer, reader and drawer with its interface. We match the headers before the CPU.
Talk through the rolloutFit matrix
Match the peripheral list, then the board.
Headers, power and recovery against the three recommended models. Values are quoted from the model pages.

Kiosk and POS fit
Check the enclosure power before the CPU: two boards take DC, one takes ATX. Confirm revision before design freeze.

Kiosk & POS, answered.
Legacy peripherals and unattended recovery. The two answers that decide a terminal rollout.
Yes, on the TOP600B. It keeps an LPT 2×13-pin header, PS/2 and six COM ports on board, so legacy printers, scales and readers connect without protocol converters.
