Some closure on this. The amount of data for this memory card really is 70k, but the AccuVote is hitting that stone age 64k limit one one of its internal tables -- namely the voting position table. You can probably see something similar if you have enough precincts with few races/candidates. So, in short, you can't trust what calc size tells you under some esoteric circumstances. Call it a bug or limitation (myself the former), but it unfortunately can't be fixed without raising some AccuVote memory card compatibility issues.KenFrom: owner-support@dieboldes.com [mailto:owner-support@dieboldes.com]On Behalf Of Ken Clark

Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2000 11:06 AMUsing the Calc Size option in the Vote Center Dialog, I found the size to be 70k for my download. Is this the actual size or is there more data placed on the card by GEMS for the AccuVote outside this number

Can we adjust the calculator to at least predict this problem then?
Well, if you insist. I would prefer to chalk this up as an AV bug though. :-) 1.17.4 will put a noncommital "big" as the memcard size when then voting position table is >64k.Would you believe Cobb's vpos table is 65910 bytes. They missed the mark by 374 bytes. It would probably fit with just one less card. Bad break.
