Re: Upgrading R5 to AVTS-4-1-0-2



 The R5 NT only has 32 meg ram.  And the microphone could not be used.  I will "download to the R4 unit running BallotStation 4.x and then run it on the R5 unit".  I will do as you suggest.
 
I spoke with McKinney this morning and they feel R6s may be available next week.  I am quite looking forward to the R6 with landscape and VIBS, ideal for the New York ballot.  Many demos planned. 
 
Thanks for your comments

Greg,
 
    From you message I gather you would like to install GEMS on your R5 unit along with the BallotStation and Pollbook 3.x and 4.x software. Yes you can do this. The only issue I can think of is that the R5 unit does not have a microphone so you cannot record sound.
 
    Why not use GEMS on you desktop, download to the R4 unit running BallotStation 4.x and then run it on the R4 unit? I think this would be easier.

It is my intention to install GEMS-1-18-4 and TSText-1-18-3 on the R5 NT AVTS demo that I have.  The R5 has VIBS capability.  I cannot communicate with the R5 from my network.
 
I do not have an Imation drive in my desktop or laptop, however I do have an R4 with an Imation drive communicating to the host through a hub .  I plan to copy the GEMSIS from the desktop to an Imation diskette in the R4, then put the Imation diskette in the R5 to install GEMS.
 
The plan is to use the R5 to demonstrate and learn VIBS.
 
Question.  Can I keep the AVTS-3-13-x-x Poll Book and Ballot Station on the R5 as well to demo the 7 language database from LA County?
