[Electronics-Talk] Restaurant Tablets

[cheez at cox.net]

I no it's not a lightning jack.  It's the smaller jack than the jack on a CD
player.  And I made a mistake with the size.  It's a 1/8th inch jack.  Not a
1/16th inch jack.
It's smaller than the ones that fit CD players.
The only device I've ever seen that used the smaller jack was micro
cassettes.

I did notice there were 2 additional jacks on the tablet.  One of which
looked like some kind of ac port.  The other looked like a microphone jack.
The 1/16th inch version.

What the headphone jack is depends on the tablet.  if it is an iPad it would
be lightning.

This situation would be covered by the ADA, because a restaurant is a public
place. It says they have to make an accommodation, but does not specify
what.  It could be reading you the menu, and taking your order.
