 # VMZ
-Vertical Merchandise Zone. On most units, the rotating carousel will have two posts of a noticable color (often yellow) to signify this zone. Intended for loading new discs into the unit. The VMZ was added in place of the QLM (Quick Load Module) in kiosks with an additional (8th) deck for merchandising and added a small shallow plastic bin at the bottom of the kiosk to collect disks.

 Hardware Abstraction Layer. In essence, a system used to interact with all of the physical hardware in the kiosk. Runs motors to turn carousel, run the picker up and down, and interfaces with all sensors inside each assembly. Also can control ventilation / air conditioning systems in some kiosks.

 # Thins
 Discs that are scheduled to be removed from the kiosk. Think of it in terms of "thinning the herd"

-<h1>Kiosk Error Screens</h1>
+<p>todo</p>
-<p>The basic error screens on a Redbox have different color backgrounds, indicating the problem at a basic level. Credits to @mordanthanus in the Discord for posting this info.</p>
-<ul>
-  <li><u>Black with white text</u> – Kiosk is booting or updating. Black screens automatically clear themselves when completed, usually 5-15 minutes. Watchdog must be turned on in RBD. ·</li>
-  <li><u>Orange with white text</u> – Kiosk is conducting a partial or full maintenance sync and will reboot to customer screen when complete. ·</li>
-  <li><u>Green with white text</u> – The kiosk engine reports a database access error and places kiosk into maintenance mode. SOFTFILE<i>0x errors. ·&nbsp;</i></li>
-  <li><i><u>Red with white text</u></i> – Machine error alert. Generally requires human intervention but may fix itself during an overnight reboot.</li>
