Ken - It only supports ISO T=0 smart cards, as per docs. Unforetunately, my familiarity with the cards is not good enough yet to tell from the etching which card I'm dealing with. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Clark To: support@gesn.com Sent: Monday, January 08, 2001 6:23 AM Subject: RE: Alco Smart Cards and Spyrus From: Steve Knecht [mailto:skglobal@earthlink.net] Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2001 3:39 PM Ken, A few questions: Are Alameda's Voter Cards (250 of them only) supported by the Spyrus. No. How would we handle 8 parties in a primary if the Spyrus only supports 6 styles? Two readers. Is this a limit you've programmed or a limit of the Spyrus itself? Bit of both. I am ordering 30 Spryus Card burners for Piedmont/Oakland election on March 6/April17 elections. Early voting starts Feb. 6 for Piedmont I have tried the Spyrus on the Alameda smart cards. I don't seem to be able to get it to work per your emailed instructions. It comes up: 200100.00 1: Encode? If I press enter it beeps once and stays on Encode? message. It only supports ISO T=0 smart cards, as per docs. If I press clear it beeps once and stays on message. Clear button doesn't do anything. Do I need to order different cards, or can the 30 sent to me be programmed to accept the Alameda cards? Please let me know so I can get correct cards ordered. You need to order ISO T=0 cards, or talk Spyrus into supporting I2C. For March Alameda, that realistically means the former. Ken
