To the list:
The minidriver has code to test for reader features to be able to use
a PIN PAD reader. Someone added that code.  Could they please respond
to this thread?

I would suspect that the calling applications also need to be updated,
and this may be the problem.

Is there a minidriver application that can be used with a PIN PAD reader?
If so what is it and what reader was used?
