Hello! I have reader compliant to ISO 14443-3 and smartcards with support of anticollision function. The ISO 14443-3 specifies procedures to manage selection of the card for further communication? Can I via PCSC-Lite implement the following functionality: 1. Put on reader two smartcards. 2. Select one of them and read it 3. Select another and read it ?

[1] ISO 14443-3 defines how the cards in the field are enumerated and how one card is selected for further exchanges. Sylvain.
