Chris,
I've had the same problem with a lack of
FileAccessCardServices so I implemented my demo using
PassThruCardServices. I'm happy to hear that a some
new card services is in the works.
I'm not too familiar with all of the different types
of cards out there. You mentioned a service in the
works for a GPK card. I'm using a GemPlus MPCOS-EMK
64k card. Is that similiar? Will a service be
available for it at some time. We're merely using it
for file storage and retrieval and not the payment or
card application features.
