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? Currently the only way to produce a manager card is with the old EBS 2000 software for the Black Wedges. Support should be able to post the EBS 2000 Install Suite, but make sure you don't load it onto a unit with current BS or GEMS software. I believe they are incompatible. Ask Don V. to organize that for you. You'll have to talk to Software development about developing a method within GEMS to create manager cards. If we had that facility, we would be able to use the new 4KBit cards as manager cards. I believe there is an outstanding RCR on this. 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. Sorry, my mistake on theory of operation. Ian 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"?

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.
