Just wanted to let everyone know I was (so far) successful in setting up
pcsc 0.0.9 with a Litronic 210 SCR. When running the manager and the
"test" client, the LED lights up. But I only have a 16K Cyberflex card.
At the end of this message is a patch (unified diff) to the documentation
to be a little more descriptive. Wish I had some code to contribute...
I like the ORB use very good idea. But how will PCMCIA smartcard drivers
work? Will there be a kernel component then a user-level so file (like
for the serial SCRs)? Should we come up with our own API for talking
between kernel drivers and user-land libraries, or is there already such a
thing, or can kernel drivers speak to the ORB directly?
Some questions about mico: I understand it is a CORBA-compliant ORB, and
that ORBs are for the purpose of easy IPC between processes. But what
does mico do? The GNOME folks are using ORBit as their ORB--does this
mean that apps that use ORBit can't work with apps that use mico? I guess
I am showing my ORB naivete here.
