pcstru Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 Not sure if this is exactly the right place to post this but there is a device in my office with the label "SIMS - OMR DRS CD210". As I recall these things are quite expensive but we have no use for it. If anyone knows a school that is in need of one, please feel free to PM me.
creese Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 If you get no replies, the manufacturers will promise to call and collect when someone is in your area. They won't collect it, just promise. We have 2 awaiting collection.
matt40k Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 Might be worth keeping, then printing OMR for supply staff rather then giving them laptops.
pcstru Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Posted October 14, 2010 Might be worth keeping, then printing OMR for supply staff rather then giving them laptops. Nice idea ... but we don't use SIMS!
ReverentCreature Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 We still use an OMR reader here to input attendance data from the SIMS registration sheets. Ours recently packed up and we got a replacement. Otherwise I could have had yours.
Banjo Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 Nice idea ... but we don't use SIMS! Should still work with other platforms :-)
GladstonePrimary Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 My school is in need of one as we dont have enough money to really buy one.
pcstru Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Posted October 14, 2010 My school is in need of one as we dont have enough money to really buy one. Sold to the person pleading school poverty! Let me have an address (or let me know which of the many Gladstone Primary Schools you are) and I'll pop it in the post.
pcstru Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Posted October 14, 2010 Should still work with other platforms :-) Yes, but would other platforms work with it ... 'eh???

Let me have an address (or let me know which of the many Gladstone Primary Schools you are) and I'll pop it in the post. Ok. Well ... err ... there seems to have been a bit of a misunderstanding there so anyone who actually wants a DRS optical mark reader (model number as stated) which will work with SIMS (at least I believe it will) ... the offer is still open.
Banjo Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 Yes, but would other platforms work with it ... 'eh??? Facility for one
happymeal Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Daft question since the thread is so old, but do you still have one knocking about?
vikpaw Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Daft question since the thread is so old, but do you still have one knocking about? This recent thread shows that quite a few still have them : http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/54523-capita-omr-drs-cd230-usb-serial-converter.html
happymeal Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Second question - are you still looking at off-loading it?
happymeal Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 *SQUEEEEEE* I'll check with the powers that be, and come back to you - seeing as the only OMR here has gone belly up, I can't see them saying no!
vikpaw Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Really? You need permission to accept a free gift? Well, i suppose he could charge you $700 for delivery in true ebay style
pcstru Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Posted July 11, 2011 Really? You need permission to accept a free gift? Well, i suppose he could charge you $700 for delivery in true ebay style oh ... didn't I say?
happymeal Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Ha - it's just in case, some places I've worked get funny about receiving goods/services FOC from other schools/companies, etc, in case there is a problem with the device, it burns down the place, opens the gates of Hell, etc, in the future. Where abouts are you from? So I've a rough idea of if I can travel down to collect!
pcstru Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Posted July 11, 2011 From Darwen I think we would be about 200 miles. We can probably arrange to post it although I'm not sure how we will manage to fit the gates of hell in there. 1
happymeal Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Recieved it the other day, installed it, and now have a happy admin lady! Cheers!
