Would the use of this PollBook
Imation Drive only be a requirement for VIBS equipped accounts where
every database disk has all the audio files? Or in a Non-VIBS
environment, would the number of languages on even a standard Ballot Station
dictate the use of an Imation 120MB disk?
The reason I ask is that Fresno and
Tulare are only receiving standard Ballot Stations and not VIBS units. But
California does support a lot of languages.
Also, do you really need a 4 port
Ethernet hub to connect a Ballot Station to a host computer, or can you just
connect it directly?
For PollBooks already shipped, it is
probably more efficient if a support person picks up the drive and installs
it. We can stock External Imation Drives if these items will be an ongoing
requirement. Changing the Regedit in future PollBook shipments is not a
problem. If we know the proper configuration, then the PollBook will be
setup to work with that configuration.
Our problem right now is, "what are
the different configurations?" Also note that if the parts required for a
PollBook increases, so to will the price of a PollBook.
