Eric L. r: I think you will find that... compatiblility between cards is a software issue. Of course the readers should be compatible across platforms. That is what PC/SC is all about. I believe it is hardware compatibility. Of course you don't directly get the card from Gemplus. I'm sorry I wasn't clear. Gemplus is the OEM for the Visa supplying bank. I will try to be clearer in the future. I've been researching Gemplus for about 2 years now and I have a tendency to slide through the relationships right to the OEM level. Again, my apology. "Theoretically (wonderful word) any PC/SC compliant reader should (wonderful word also) read and write to any of the 3 available Visa IC cards and Amex Blue." Remember what you are saying here. You are not just talking PIN, but T=0 and T=1 protocols. There is a bit more on that Card chip than PIN authentication logarithms. Try the very bottom of this Link: sites.netscape.net "For 50 cents you can help support this site. With your 50 cent purchase you get..." Sorry about the $.50 cost. I'm sure not going to get rich on it, but you will find it provacative. I set this up a long time before GEMP went public.
