Last summer, I acquired a Diebold TS Touch Screen from eBay. It had been returned to Diebold by Maryland officials, but somehow got stuck in shipping for 1.5 years until the shipper unloaded it on eBay.
Actually, the unit is owned by Open Voting Foundation, which I founded and remain as president. I am also president of Open Voting Consortium. Among other things, we work on developing and promoting open source software for public election systems. I made some news by revealing some security issues with the unit. We were recently cited in an AP article about why Diebold might want to get out of the voting system business. http://gnosis.python-hosting.com/voting-project/March.2007/0022.html Anyway, I haven't decided on what else we might want to do. Princeton U also obtained one of these units and showed how some malicious code could be inserted to throw votes. That was also one of my goals, but since they beat us to that, I'm not working on that anymore. I have got Rebol Core (for SH3 processor and Win CE 2.0) running from a flashdisk in the PCMCIA slot. The version of Win CE running on the TS is 3.0. The machine has 32 meg of RAM and has software installed on flash memory chips (no disk drive). It has an infrared port. I don't want to disturb the existing Diebold Ballot Station software installation. I haven't used Rebol much -- only for some email scripts. I don't know if I can get Rebol View running. Any guesses? Do I need View running for the GUI ? Alan Dechert -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
