We are in the process of validating our WDM driver for USB CCID
Smartcard Readers and are looking for prototype devices to use for this
purpose.

This is a public invitation for reader manufacturers to participate at
no cost in our validation program. If you are interested, please do the
following:

1. Send a private e-mail to waltoney@oneysoft.com with your company
name, a contact name, address, telephone number, and fax number.

2. We will send you a signed NDA and ask you to return a signed copy of
the same. This is a reasonable and completely bilateral NDA that doesn't
contain any of the overreaching clauses commonly found in such, but you
can bail at this point if you're not happy with the provisions of the
NDA.

3. Send us a prototype of your USB reader. Everything we learn about
your reader is covered by the NDA and by our own professional ethics,
which preclude public or private discussions of any aspect of your
hardware.

4. We will send you back a report concerning your reader's compliance
with the CCID specification. If there are problems with your reader, we
will work with you to iron them out. This part of the program includes
sending you a debug version of our driver so that you more quickly make
changes in your firmware. If you already know your reader is in full
compliance with the CCID spec, your benefit from participation in our
program would be licensing concessions down the road.

At this point, we are especially interested in receiving prototype
character-level, TPDU-level, and extended-APDU level readers, but we
will accept any and all readers that purport to implement the CCID spec.
