If it's I2C, then it isn't 2-wire. If the Towitoko
driver assigns '2' to the ICC type then it migth be an
2-wire card.

Because of the protocol used to communicate with the
card is diferent.

Yes. I2C cards does not return ATR. So The driver
leaves this data blank. The CT spec does not says
nothing about this being incorrect, so I guess it's
fine.

Yes, you need to enter a PIN. The cards that come with
the beginers pack use to have PIN=000.

This is because somebody (I don't mean you ;-) entered
a wrong PIN 3 times, or because the card is bad.

If the card is actually blocked, you cannot.

I don't know of such specification. You just need to
use the appropiate CT commands (see MKT specs) to send
PIN, change PIN, etc.
