hmm, not sure about acos5. you could use some usb sniffer to debug what some windows software does, extract the APDU commands, look them up in the manual, and that way get a general sense of what is going on. or maybe first use opensc with some well known cards, create debug log files for well known actions, and see what that apdu commands are and how they work? then you could translate that into commands for acos5 using their manual. I haven't gotten to the point to work/try things with acos5 so far, even I have some cards here. smart cards aren't very friendly for experiements, if you e.g. lock up a transport key (cryptoflex), system key (cardos), or do something wrong with initializiation (acos5), the card is useless. so I guess first step would be a small init of some acos5 card, only create a main folder and a pin to protect it (similar to the startkey/transport key you have with cardos/cryptoflex), and put it into real mode - where security is enforced. other work can then be done on top of that (create directories, more pins etc.) - but you can always get back to that first step by deleting everything. cardos/cryptoflex have that out of the box with startkey/transport key, but with acos5 you would need to setup something like that first, I guess.
