Smart Cards Do Not Hurt Anymore

Ah, the great mystery of talking to the smart card is solved. The tool that helped me to do it is called CHIPDRIVE Smartcard Commander. It is a free tool and can easily be found, downloaded and installed.

When I positioned the card in the reader and started the Smartcard Commander, I could immediately see that it knows a lot of stuff about the card.

But what's more important, it has some sample scripts that can be loaded when I select "CPU Card" from the System tree and use the Load Script button. The sample script shows me how to construct commands that can be send to the card, I can also run them immediately and see the results.

I only need to send the proper commands now...
