Sorry Dave, it 03:30 AM and I am a bit dumb and you will have to be more
explicit.
I have the ctapi-1.0 driver. I undestand that all CTBCS are performed at the
CT_Data level (or have to be mapped onto corresponding CT instructions).
However, I do not see the code corresponding to the interpretation of the
CTBCS commands inside the code of the ctapi-1.0 driver.

Ok. The premise is that, if it works it is good.
This said, I believe it could be useful (mostly to the enjoyment of SM
novices like me) to make explicit the structure inside the driver itself. In
this case this means reflecting what you have proposed in the CT-skeleton
driver.
Please note that I do not care if you make the same things for most of the
cases (i.e., if you have to do the same things for a reset CT and a request
ICC, for examples): I guess you have no strong performance requirements, so
in this particular case, preference should be accorder to clarity instead of
shortness

Ok, however I believe that CTBCS compliance (together with compliance of the
Resource Manager with the PC/SC specs) is an important topic.
