Hi,

For smartcard reader driver testing, I've constantly been hearing about the
"magic" tool - IFDTEST. But, where
can i get it? I searched entiry Microsoft site and can not find it till now.
Can any one give some help? Thanks.

It used to be part of the Hardware Compatibility Test (HCT) package.
Nowadays, I guess that would be the Driver Test Manager. See
<http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/WDK/DTM.mspx>.

A caution, though: IFDTEST from the XP era uses an older set of test
cards that are no longer available. I believe you need a newer IFDTEST
(and a set of new test cards) to get certified for Vista -- if I'm wrong
about that, hopefully somebody from MS will chime in.
