INFO TO ALL
The following components will be ordered as
samples for Software & Hardware testing and
development.
From SCM Microsystems:
Item: SwapSmart PC/SC Developers
Kit
QTY: 3 units One
for Vancouver
One for Omaha
One for McKinney
From: MicroTech Int'l.
Item: SSFDC/ADP16
QTY: 3 units
Distribution same as above.
From: Dynamic Power
Item: Apollo UPS Power Supply Model #
A-950
QTY: 3 units Distribution same
as above.
Three new AccuTouch units will be modified to
bring out internal PCMCIA reader to the side of unit.
Once this is done we
will ship one to each of the above locations for development. Let me know
if you want us to install Apollo UPS on these unit or you can do them yourself
when you finally get them. Remember these are coming in from the
Netherlands and it may take some time.
The Apollo UPS power supply will help familiarize us with the
design criteria of such devices for our future hardware development and also
help us find a solution for our existing model requirements for battery
backup.
The SmartMedia adapter will provide a means to record election
result to flash ram from the side of the units instead of the rear imation
floppy. This is a must for Howard and Bob U.. If we can adapt our current
software to handle this, we will probably add this capability to all of our
existing units. Also this will give the software development team time to
experiment with flash media for new hardware & software
development.
The swapsmart PC/SC developers kit will provide an external PCMCIA
reader to install on your existing development PC's allowing you to test all
PCMCIA software development on your PC without having to use a modified
Accutouch with PCMCIA. The kit also includes a PCMCIA adapter the will
allow the use of Smart Cards and Memory Cards that we presently use as Manager
cards and voter cards. The thought here is the possibility of using the
same PCMCIA reader for both functions in the new hardware, thus elimination the
need for and additional Smart card reader.
All of the above are suppose to include drivers and support for
Windows 95,NT and CE.
