As far as the 430 driver is concerned, you can try to modify ifdhandler.c
to make it more permissive.
In function IFDHPowerICC( DWORD Lun,...) CHANGE:
switch(Action)
{
....
case IFD_POWER_UP:
case IFD_RESET:
....
switch ( pcbuffer[STATUS_OFFSET] )
{
case GCORE_OK:
case GCORE_WRONG_TCK:
.....
BY:
switch(Action)
{
....
case IFD_POWER_UP:
case IFD_RESET:
....
switch ( pcbuffer[STATUS_OFFSET] )
{
case GCORE_OK:
case GCORE_WRONG_TCK:
case 0xA0:
.....
The driver should not complain any more, but I don't know if the reader will
work! I don't have any card with this ATR, so I can't do any test.
I hope this helps.
