Re: Spyrus

Ian,
  • Project Manager types in the field need to be able to create Manager Cards.  Using the Spyrus, it is quite easy (yes, being somewhat careless, but I've done it and seen others do it also) to wipe out the manager card on the Spyrus. I've got 2 wiped out cards at home. We then don't have any way to re-create it without sending it to Texas.  This request has been made before.  Can we please get whatever program makes Manager Cards posted on the FTP site? 
  •  don't understand your BTW comment about being able to load 6 cards onto one master card.  How do you do this?  Loading 6 cards onto a Spyrus I understand, but not onto a smart card.
 If you only have fewer than six precincts, you can fit all six onto one "master card".  You don't need a "master card" for each precinct, unless you need to program each Spyrus with only one precinct ID.  Why do you think you need to program six "master cards"?

Hi Ian
 
Received Spyrus stuff, thanks.  A Manager Card is definitely required.  The Manager Card is inserted into the Spyrus to format it and make ready for the master cards to follow, maximum of 6.
Luckily I have one Manager Card here.
