One of our most popular items on DirectVoltage.com is the smartcard/chip reader/writers. This item comes with ONLY the device drivers for your pc to connect to the device. The actual software that does the reading and writing is not included. This post will be a list of resources available free and paid that should work with the device. I will try and keep this list updated periodically. If you have any suggestions or favorites that work for you please add them to the comments. I will add all relevant comments to the master list. Thanks!
