Good Idea! I don't think anyone is working on this right
now, but it was
mentioned as a nice project several times. I'm thinking
about buying a
few cards myself too, so then I could maybe help or at least
test.

Hmm, I'm not sure which drivers are a good modell for
writing a new one.
Maybe the flex driver, because cryptoflex cards are well
documented too,
the security system is much easier (than cardos for example
- as far as 
I remember), and we have full support for it. On the other
hand the flex
driver implements both crpytoflex and cyberflex support,
which might be
a bit confusing.

Nils, what do you think? which driver would be best as
template?
(Nils has the most experience in writing drivers I think and
can help
best with any questions).

Regards, Andreas
