I'd like to request a new votercard.dll file for the 3.x Ballot Station Software to include a new ATR String on the latest version of the 4KB smartcards coming out of our vendor. Please see the attached Word document for the ATR String detail (The 15th byte has changed due to an upgrade in the Major OS Version.) This votercard.dll file is required to update the CPM (Card Production Manager) Software which we use to produce Manager Cards. Although the CPM is a version 2.x software, the votercard.dll for 3.x is compatible. This is required by March 22nd, 2002 as, by that time, we will exhaust our supply of 4KB cards with the previous ATR string that currently works with the CPM. Although we will refrain from shipping these cards to existing AV-TS R4 customers and supply them with the 1KB memory cards that we have remaining in stock, the votercard.dll file may also be needed for loading onto existing AV-TS R4 Ballot Stations/PollBooks for customers that desperately need new smart cards at a time when we have depleted our 1KB stock. Although testing has shown that this doesn't affect 4.x Ballot Station software (CE and NT versions), please verify that there are no potential side effects. If you'd like the details on the chain of events that lead to this, let me know and I'll provide them sometime next week. Sincerely, Ian S.
