Hello,

This one is multi part (I don't want to pollute your inbox : ) )


First, I released a new application FormatICC in the appliications section.
Basically it is an APDU robot.  It takes scripts and pumps them out to the
card via a command line interface.  It is like SKAM only text only.  It
writes the results out to a file.  I will provide a separate page for APDU
scripts which people can download to format particular cards.  If you have
a script - please send it and I can put it on the site.  I would like to
have a bunch of these scripts eventually.

The scripts are like this:

size   apdu
05    00 84 00 00 08
07    00 a4 00 00 02 3f 00
...

doesn't get much easier than that : )
I will be providing a script tomorrow that formats blank Cryptoflex cards
for storage of private keys.

This is possible - I have only tried 2 simultaneously but I designed PC/SC
to handle multiple readers.  There will be one change though.  In the
driver for the reader desired there is a small change (about 10 lines of
code)  Instead of that gross 0x0103F8 stuff you will just put 0x000001
0x000002 ....

which will map to /dev/pcsc/1, /dev/pcsc/2 and so on which will be sym
links to their appropriate devices.  This will keep the system dependencies
away and allow you to have alot of devices.  I should have made the
CHANNELID a string but it is all dependent on that number currently so this
is easy to do and gets the job done.


Best Regards,
Dave
