Per Ian’s request, additional testing was conducted on the Feeder Sort
capability of the 1.94y rom. A memory card was downloaded from a GEMS 1.17.7.5 famous names database
(named “famous names 152-2”, EID 02125ef9, with ballot card 0, hence the
classic demo famous names ballot could be used). 1.94y ROMs (release date 00-11-03) were put into an Accu-Vote
(SN 82530). In supervisor
functions, the memory card’s setup parameters were changed to Auto Feed Method,
and the Feeder Sort was Disabled (this is a new option in this ROM). The test deck consisted of 12 ballots, 6 of which had write-in votes on
them. The Accu-Vote did not stop
for write-in ballots; all ballots were fed straight through without pause. The test was conducted twice with the same results (including an
accurate tabulation of the results and a successful direct upload of results). Tyler |
