NComputing L230 Computer Access Terminal

User Review #2 Source: TigerDirect.com by  labman  on July 9th, 2008

We have four L230 units on our network. One of them is using a 22'' wide ViewSonic monitor and it does display properly. Also have installed HP laserjet printers on the L230 USB port, and printing works just fine also. The L230 users have been able to utilize all of our software so far. We are using Microsoft and Logitec optical mice with no problems (refer to an earlier reviewer's problem).You will need a robust little server for your L230 terminals. We have found that 512 Mb of RAM per L230 needs to be available on the server. Otherwise the whole system slows to unusable speeds. If you are using an XP based server, be aware that the 32 bit verstion of XP will support a maximum of 4 Gb of RAM, so you are probably limited to 8 users per server. We have experimented on servers using both XP Home and XP Pro with no apparent difference in usablility.Overall, we are happy with the product and plan on adding a few more units.

We have bought 8 L230 for a network one came to usbad, but that is not what is the problem.The main problem is that none of the L200 and L230units work with optical mice ps2 or usb with or without ps2 adapters.So i called Tiger support and told them of my problem. I was asked '' What do you want me to do about that?'' in a condescending tone.So i said can you give me a list out mice that do work with these units?Support responded with no we are just a reseller of this product and we do no product testing. Take a look at this link http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1870109&CatId=3509Logan has no mention of any incompatibility issue's?We have a wide range of optical ps2 mice here M.S. and Logi plus no-name here and nothing works but a ball mouse.So i contacted the manufacture NComputing for guidance they said that they should work with all PS2 style optical mice, So i said well can you tell me the model you use. They said NO.
