Hi Lalakis

    Some "smartcard" are I2C devices, e.g. Xicor ISO7812
    compatible secure memory card.
    You can build a parallel port to I2C interface to talk to these card.

Hi everybody! I want to make a smart card reader-writer. Where can I find
some info to begin with? Can I use a PIC to make it?
Thanks in advance, Argiris
