I had the same problem and I got the same answer from matrica, but they aren't really right. The implementation is OK and it is according to the specifications. There are just two things the specification could be interpreted differently: 1. The number of the device. Most windows-ctapi's uses 1 for COM1, 2 for COM2 ..., so moneyplex for linux expected the same, but the linux-driver for towitoko uses 0 for COM1, 1 for COM2 and so on. 2. While sending the eject-command moneyplex told the chipdrive to give an optical and acustical signal. This is not implemented in the hardware (except for the red LED) and the driver answers with 0x6A 0x00 (wrong parameter). I have patched this two things and the chipdrive micro is working fine for me. I had some trouble with the geometry of my Sparkassen-card. I have to pull it back half a millimeter to have good contact. I tried to contact Carlos too, with the same success as you. I have the patches at home for the towitoko-2.0.4 driver and I can give it to you maybe today evening or tomorrow. Or you can try to patch the driver yourself. Or I can give you a patched and compiled version with some amount of debugging output. Let me know.
