Hello,
I agree with most of you and that is why I will add a compiler define so
that you can compile PC/SC to either run with dynamic allocation or with
allocation at runtime.
I agree with serial ports this is a pain - I'm working on some USB
smartcard readers too.

Is this PC/SC or the drivers though ? The Towitoko PC/SC driver for Win32
claims to release the serial port & only claim it 'on demand'.
pc/sc requires card insertion events be delivered. So the drivers must keep
the port open. Towitoko is technically in violation of the spec, which is
one

Marten is absolutely right. One of the most irritating things about pc/sc
is the way it hijacks the serial port. Last time I checked most computers
only had two. If you insist on bug-for-bug compatibility with Microsoft, at
least make port hijacking an option in the config file.

Dave,
My humble suggestions:
1) Please put all poll loops for status change etc. in the IFD_HANDLER.
The IX36/56 driver will eventually sleep on IRQ for this...
Maybe there are more readers that can send IRQ on status change?
2) Your monitor process is a step towards the Windows PC/SC wa
Hello,
I'm just finishing up a new version of pcsc-lite. This one works
differently though. When you start the server it connects automatically
to the readers and threads off a process to monitor card status. Status
requests from the application ask this thread for status instead of the

Hi,
I released a new version of pcsc-lite (0.5.5) It provides support for up
to 256 card slots in the same reader terminal. This is done by listing
them in the /etc/reader.conf with different FRIENDLYNAMES but with the same
information. Each slot on the reader will then be given a logical unit
Hello,
I released a development version of pcsc-lite that includes RPC. You can
now connect using multiple applications, run your applications as non-root,
and simultaneously get status changes.
This version also uses a forking() pcscserver which will for on

Hi,
Sometime next week I will be releasing a new version of PC/SC Lite with a
few more fixes and support for T=1 and automatic Protocol Negotiation. I
wrote a small library for parsing ATR's so the Status function now returns
the correct size of the ATR instead of MAX_ATR_SIZE. I also abstracte
Hi,
I released the new PC/SC 0.8.9. It has fixed shared/exclusive access
modes, more stability, and distributed environment using a new context
type: SCARD_SCOPE_GLOBAL. XCard uses the GLOBAL Scope so you can download
it 0.0.2 version which has distributed support. Basically you can call on

Hi,
I should be releasing a new version of the Resource Manager soon. I have
spend alot of time working with the ReaderFactory to allow multiple
applications to communicate with the Resource Manager simultaneously. I
have run up to 4 XCard's and have even added all the exclusivity and

Hello,
A new version of PC/SC is available with some new apps and a C api.
SSH is also there under applications and a Multiflex SSP along with
revised SSP's for Cryptoflex and Cyberflex Access. I will go into more
depth later this weekend.
Thanks
Dave
