Hmm, well, I used to do some programming on Smart-Card (D2Mac) some years
ago. Now I'm not going to be of much help here, as I don't have the info
anymore but what I can tell you is it may not be as easy as you think.

You can't just write/read to the smart-card as such, you can if you're just
writing a program to t, but if you want to interact with the card you need
to get some ISO information, can't remember the exact ISO number, I think
it's 7816, might be wrong. But you have to give the card a certain amount of
bytes in a set time, like you have to start with an ATR (Answer to Reset)
and give the correct answer else it wont talk to you, this goes on and on
e.t.c.

Hello,

        Microsoft has a 'Smart Card tool kit' available for sale (but not
for download).  Check it out at:

Hope this helps,
