The 1.94w firmware does not keep a checksum on the Accu-Basic report
program stored on the memory card. It sounds like that area has been
corrupted on these but without a checksum, the Accu-Vote doesn't recognize
the fact and report the error until a report is attempted. The audit
report is generated by programming on the ROMs and therefore is not affected
by memory card corruptions. Memory card duplication will duplicate
corrupted data perfectly.
Treat these like other cases of memory card corruption. They still have valid election and count data and could continue to be used normally except for printing results and therefore compare to getting a TEXT CHECK ERROR. What is causing these and other corruptions is still unresolved and the investigation continues... Guy BTW: All that I mean by corruption is that data has been changed in
an incorrect way. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with
the memory card itself, only with the data stored on it.
These cards are still capable of printing audit reports and performing supervisor functions but are no longer able to print any sort of TOTALS report.
