Yes, I'd be interested in seeing a copy. Better yet, I'd be nice is a copy was posted on Eternity.

I talked with Bret Tobay, Tritheim Technology, (813) 943-8684, a Mondex certified developer at COMDEX. They have a complete line of SC readers (SmartPort DT and LT) and software. Development kit $495.
BTW, also had a very interesting discussion with the Chipper folks at COMDEX.
