Chip and Pin Card Reader

[greeshma]

Hi All,

We were using magnetic card readers for reading Credit Card Data.
We are using Ms-dos command "mode" to get data from reader.

Now our client wish to move to chip and pin reader .Any one have worked with this hardware?
Is same way("mode") will work on this?

I am working on Progress GUI product , version 10.2B

Most POS equipment has a SDK with them. Who makes the chip and pin reader? Otherwise you might need to use the mscomm.ocx activex control to access the serial port to interface and send the correct control codes.

I can only second that. Most of the smart cards come with a middleware and the smart card reader probably with custom drivers too. Probably your smart card middleware is interfacing with MSCAPI or PKCS#11 which are standard API to handle things like certificates that are usually stored on a smart card chip.
