Finally received my ECA result this morning, did better than I had expected (call me a pessimist if you like). Moving on towards T224 – Computers and Processors starting in February 2010. I wish all fellow T209ers all the best with their results and further studies.

TMA01 (Module 1 –  In touch and informed)  = 90%
TMA02 (Module 2 – Talking with computers) = 84%
TMA03 (Module 3 – Network management) = 96%
TMA04 (Module 4 – Cyborg) = 93%
TMA05 (Module 5 – Security) = 0% (Did not have sufficient time to complete this module)

CMA41 (Module 1)  = 81%
CMA42 (Module 3) = 85%
CMA43 (Module 5) = 0%  (Did not have sufficient time to complete this module)

ECA = 77% – Grade 2 PASS.

Found some of my old Linux discs tonight … thought they deserved a mention… dating from 1997 & 1998.

Had a good day Friday, after failing to get relevant information from the manufacturer (been requesting for what seems to be a lifetime). Finally manged to get the 2D barcode imager functional under Linux, what a feeling of accomplishment.

All other significant hardware is supported by the 2.6.30 Gentoo Kernel.  However the finger print reader, camera and HSDPA modem have not been tested as they are not required for the application the unit is going to be used for.
