Hi there,

I have two smartcard contactless readers not PC/SC compliant.
The two readers communicate with the computer using a proprietary serial
protocol. One of the readers connects using a serial cable and the other
an USB cable although it's seen by Windows as a serial device (COMxx).

I would like to make these readers PC/SC compliant. I think the only way
is to make the PCSC driver for the reader, but I don't know how hard is
to develop a PC/SC driver from scratch and if it would be possible if
the reader (hardware and firmware) was not designed with PC/SC in mind.

If not, what about developing a "bridge layer" between the PCSC
framework and the propietary reader driver? In this case the bridge
layer redirects the PC/SC calls to to the propietary reader serial driver.
Maybe is this second approach more appropriate?

Thanks.
