Re: reject writeins using feeders



can you not just add it back into the 1.94w roms ?  or change the f< to accept the races with no candidates?

  This was added in release 1.94p (1997-7-29 alias 1.94f<) and removed in subsequent releases because users complained that it killed throughput and that they would rather pre-sort the ballots. Obviously we can't please everybody with a simple on-off solution.  What I propose is a setup mode option to enable sorting with the feeder.  This can be saved on the memory card so that it need not be reset every time the AV is powered on.  Comments?

  Since 1.94y has been released, this would be 1.94z unless we made this a 1.95-only feature.  Remember that 1.95 is only supported by GEMS (not VTS) and is essentially 1.94 with some extra data stored on the memory cards which makes them incompatible with 1.94 memory cards.  Your call Tari.
