Hello, I have decided to enumerate friendly names in pcsc-lite by the following: Test Reader will be: Test Reader 0 0 if it is 1 reader and 1 slot Test Reader 0 0 Test Reader 1 0 if it is 2 readers with 1 slot Test Reader 0 0 Test Reader 0 1 Test Reader 1 0 Test Reader 1 1 if it is 2 readers that have 2 slots. after examining some scenarios where a multi slot reader is inserted then a single, remove the multislot put in a single then put in a multislot would disrupt a just single number pattern. My next version of pcsc-lite will support this mechanism and dwSlot that is passed to each function in the ifdhandler will be passed as: 0xDDDDCCCC where DDDD is the readernum so one driver can handle multiple reader instances and CCCC is the slot number requested.
