Hello,

Most of the drivers pass the 61 XX back to the application to handle. I
think it is bad practice to handle this in the driver since it is a card
specific ISO function. This should happen above the reader abstraction
where the card abstraction layer occurs. BTW - has anyone done an OSI
like modeling for how a smartcard infrastructure should occur ?

Regards,
Dave
