RE: Spyrus

Steve:
 
Perhaps I should have put Greg's name as a salutation in the response as it was intended for him, not you.  Please read the other email I sent in response to your inquiry.  It's probably the next one down on your "Inbox" list.  And there is no issue here except yours. 
 
If you want to get personal, please send your emails to me directly, or phone me directly.
 
Ian

NO.  That is not what I'm saying.  I've got perfectly good cards here that have been wiped out.  I don't want to spend more time ordering more cards, waiting for them, paying for shipping, etc.  If I'm ever in a bind and need a card NOW, I want to be able to burn it.  What is the issue here?  I have the capability of genning up any software the company has.  What is your issue with making this available to field personnel?

You hadn't explained that in our phone conversation.  If you require more manager cards then please have Bonnie order them for you.

Ian, I only have one Manager Card.  If I lose it or misplace it or someone borrows it, then this equipment cannot be used until another arrives.  That's why I ordered 4 more.

Yes, but only the one manager card is required.  If you've done anything with TS before, you would have had one on hand.  I hadn't imagined it would be a problem, so I didn't need luck on my side.
 
My point was that you didn't need manager-type cards for your special programming card media (as you referred to them, "master cards").  All you needed for that was the 4KBit cards, which are also used as voter cards.  Agreed
 
 
BTW:  If you only have           six precincts (ballot styles), 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"?  I have six different ballots, a Master Card is created with one of the 6 and entered into the Spyrus in one of the numbers.  Ballot one is located in keypad 1, etc.  I do not know how to load all 6 on one Master Card and program them numerically onto the six digits on the Spyrus.
 
I await your instructions.

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.
