> Ian,
> - Project Manager types in the field need to be able to create Manager Cards. Using the Spyrus, it is quite easy (yes, being somewhat careless, but I've done it and seen others do it also) to wipe out the manager card on the Spyrus. I've got 2 wiped out cards at home. We then don't have any way to re-create it without sending it to Texas. This request has been made before. Can we please get whatever program makes Manager Cards posted on the FTP site?
> Currently the only way to produce a manager card is with the old EBS 2000 software for the Black Wedges. Support should be able to post the EBS 2000 Install Suite, but make sure you don't load it onto a unit with current BS or GEMS software. I believe they are incompatible. Ask Don V. to organize that for you.
> You'll have to talk to Software development about developing a method within GEMS to create manager cards. If we had that facility, we would be able to use the new 4KBit cards as manager cards. I believe there is an outstanding RCR on this.
> - don't understand your BTW comment about being able to load 6 cards onto one master card. How do you do this? Loading 6 cards onto a Spyrus I understand, but not onto a smart card.
> Sorry, my mistake on theory of operation.
