Re: MUSCLE Error using an IBM MFC in GemPlus readers.

[Peter Tomlinson]

>From ISO 7816-3:1997, ATR looks like:

3B Direct data convention
EF TB1, TC1, TD1 present, 15 historical bytes
00 TB1 Vpp not used
FF TC1 Min delay between character transmissions is default value (11 etu
for T=1)
81 TD1 T=1 protocol only, TD2 is present
31 TD2 TB3 and TC3 present
FF TB3 BWI for T=1 not as per ISO (value F is 'reserved'), CWI for T=1 = 15
65 TC3 Bit 0 says LRC used in T=1, other bits should be all be set to zero
for ISO 7816
Historical bytes say: IBM MFC92292890

I seem to remember that the IBM MFC card is a CEN EN726 (telecoms standard)
card, and not an ISO 7816 card.
