I just
finished doing a small test here in the Omaha office, and here is what I
produced. I ran the CPM program to be able to produce Manager Cards.
Using a tabletop model - Rev. B, and Voter Card.dll - Version 3-12-6-1, I was
successful in programming the 4 different types of cards that I have. The
oval chip card, a square chip card with an X shape, a square chip card with the
word ATMEL at the bottom, and a square chip card in the L shape. Those are
the exact cards I had in Barrie, and I was only successful with the square chip
card in the L shape. However, I did not have the CPM program installed on
any equipment, there in Barrie. I don't know if that helps or not, but
just thought I would try the test here in Omaha.
Global McKinney had never shipped Manager Cards to
Barrie, ON, prior to Jeff Hintz's arrival there last week. I don't know where
the ones Jeff mentioned came from.
The
current revisions of the External Smart Card Reader are A, B, C, and D.
If Global Vancouver already has some external card readers there, perhaps they
could tell me what revisions they have and I could ship the revisions they
don't have.
I
can provide samples of various versions of smart cards used by Global over the
centuries. I'll send Bonnie some info so she can create a work order for
these parts.

The City of Barrie had 2 Manager cards there with
the Gems system. A 1K card, (the old oval chip card), and a 64KB card,
(the square chip card with a L shape). I don't know if these cards
were left from the first election that was done with the old I-Mark system,
or if left from demostrations after that.
Yes the 1K Manager cards work on my table top
reader here in Omaha. But I have a table top model that
is Rev. B, and the table tope models sent to Barrie were Rev.
D.
Also, you might want Ian to send you all the
different Smart Cards & Smart Card Readers that they currently have in
McKinney, and make sure all are working.
Jeff,
Two
questions:
1) Since
Ian states they have never send 1K Manager cards where did the 1K manager
cards come from?
2) Do
the 1K Manager cards work on other readers? If they do then I would
like to get a the 1K manager card and a new reader so we can determine
what the problem is and get it fixed.

Subject: Smart Cards & New
Table Top Card Readers
I am doing
training here in the City of Barrie, Canada, and I have encountered with
the new table top card readers sent here, that they cannot read some of
the different smart cards that we have. So far I have only been
able to get the square smart card with the shape of an L able to read. Once I am able to get into
the Poll Book software with this card, I can create voter cards with any
of the other cards that I have, and they work fine in the AVTS
units. Is there anyone else that has encountered these
problems???
