Yes, I know; however, some readers support such cards using when specifying 
protocols other than T=0 and T=1 (e.g. RAW).

Anyway, some medical applications need support for memory cards, and since I 
prefer your CCID driver over Kobil's closed source driver I had to find a way 
to make it work...

However, if I understand Joachim correctly his problems aren't related to 
memory cards... I guess we need to set IFDHSetProto with appropriate 
parameters for this reader... Maybe one could find the correct parameters in 
the sources of pcscd...

Currently libchipcard doesn't call that function because all readers I have 
access to don't need it. I wouldn't know what parameters to use ATM anyway 
(it has been a long time since I wrote that code in libchipcard) :-/


Regards
Martin
