T=0 is character-oriented protocol T=1 is block-oriented. find ISO7816-3 in practical terms, you have to see what protocol does the underlying architecture adheres to. For example, in Singapore, most of the cards are T=0 and in japan most of the cards and terminals are T=1. And up to today, the general agreed norm would be for the terminal to accept T=0, T=1 + T=?? cards depending on applications and for the card to talk their specific T=0 or T=1. There are methods for describing this T=0, T=1 protocol type selection in the ISO docsuments. on a technical note, they are just two standard methods of handling data transfer. jipi *************************************************************** Unix Smart Card Developers - M.U.S.C.L.E.
