    We are in the process of validating our WDM driver for USB CCID
    Smartcard Readers and are looking for prototype devices to use for this
    purpose.

    This is a public invitation for reader manufacturers to participate at
    no cost in our validation program. If you are interested, please do the
    following:

    1. Send a private e-mail to waltoneyoneysoft.com with your company
    name, a contact name, address, telephone number, and fax number.

    2. We will send you a signed NDA and ask you to return a signed copy of
    the same. This is a reasonable and completely bilateral NDA that doesn't
    contain any of the overreaching clauses commonly found in such, but you
    can bail at this point if you're not happy with the provisions of the
    NDA.

    3. Send us a prototype of your USB reader. Everything we learn about
    your reader is covered by the NDA and by our own professional ethics,
    which preclude public or private discussions of any aspect of your
    hardware.

    4. We will send you back a report concerning your reader's compliance
    with the CCID specification. If there are problems with your reader, we
    will work with you to iron them out. This part of the program includes
    sending you a debug version of our driver so that you more quickly make
    changes in your firmware. If you already know your reader is in full
    compliance with the CCID spec, your benefit from participation in our
    program would be licensing concessions down the road.

    At this point, we are especially interested in receiving prototype
    character-level, TPDU-level, and extended-APDU level readers, but we
    will accept any and all readers that purport to implement the CCID spec.
