In any case, in OCF, the CardService and CardTerminal layers are
totally independent, so a driver for gemplus readers can work with
any CardService, and a CardService is unaware of the underlying
CardTerminal implementation and actual reader..
Now, for the available CardServices at present time, I'm afraid you
are right. Only the MFC4 (IBM card) CardServices are available. They
effectively implement the FileAcessCardService interface.

Although we are currently working on two CardServices that are
totally unrelated to file-system based cards (i.e., one for
Javacard, the second one for Database cards -ISO7816-7), we also
have a prototype of CardService for SIM cards that deals with
files but unfortunately GSM11.11 does not follow completely the
ISO7816-4 norm :-( so there are a few incompatibilities.. (e.g.,
the error code that is returned).
The good news is that Gemplus is working on a file system CardService
for GPK cards. I do not have any scheduled release date but work
is in progress. I'll let you all know on this mailing-list whenever
I have some news.
Cheers,
Christophe.
