This weekend I tested the two partian key on 5 machines in my house.   The test results are here:

 With either the Key alone or with the helper CD everything booted up.  They all appeared to work except the128 RAM machine, which could not open the web browser.  Interestingly, it did not fail in the same way as the Shaw school machines.  At the Shaw school the machines spontanously rebooted.  On my older 128MB machine it did not reboot, just failed to ever actually start the web browser.

One of the goals of this Fall's work wil be to identify minimum machines specs so its not necessary we make it work on 128MB RAM, its just an interesting data point.

Next tasks:

-Splash screen for the CD

-Evaluating whether the 2-partition drive makes the Key more robust when removed improperly.
