As far as the 430 driver is concerned, you can try to modify ifdhandler.c to make it more permissive. In function IFDHPowerICC( DWORD Lun,...) CHANGE: switch(Action) { .... case IFD_POWER_UP: case IFD_RESET: .... switch ( pcbuffer[STATUS_OFFSET] ) { case GCORE_OK: case GCORE_WRONG_TCK: ..... BY: switch(Action) { .... case IFD_POWER_UP: case IFD_RESET: .... switch ( pcbuffer[STATUS_OFFSET] ) { case GCORE_OK: case GCORE_WRONG_TCK: case 0xA0: ..... The driver should not complain any more, but I don't know if the reader will work! I don't have any card with this ATR, so I can't do any test. I hope this helps.
