Surely, that is an option (and I'll probably end up with just writing a lib to work with magstripe readers). I was mostly concerned about hybrid ICC+stripe readers (used one several years ago at work). I wanted to have an interface that would work with both hybrid and stripe-only readers. However it seems that hybrids are so rare in real world, that I should not care about them. -- With best wishes Dmitry _______________________________________________ Pcsclite-muscle mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pcsclite-muscle
