If I burn a PCMCIA card
with WinNT 4.0, I can remove the card, and place it in an R6 unit and the DB
will load. Problem with this setup is, I can only burn 1 card, since
the OS crashes after that. NT does not do well with hot swapping
anything. When I attempt the same procedure with a windows 2000
machine, I can theoretically hot swap the PCMCIA card, if I make sure I wait
the required 10-20 seconds for the machine to realize that I pulled the
card, and it issue's me a dialog box that informs me of this. I then
have to click the OK button to acknowledge to the system that I know I have
removed the card, then I can insert a new blank card to continue burning my
PCMCIA cards. That is all fine and dandy, but another problem arises,
after burning the PCMCIA card, I them proceed casually over to the R6 unit,
and insert the card, I then get the Download Election Dialog box, not the
loading election. I have looked at the contents of the PCMCIA card,
and have not seen any differences. The election will not load, and
yes, I have tried this a few times with the same
results.
