8.1 Driver description
The 1060 Smartcard reader driver for each version integrates with the Microsoft Smartcard
Resource Manager that is part of the Mobile Computer Windows Mobile 5/6 operating system.
This allows the generic Microsoft API to be used to communicate with smartcards (and
memory cards) inserted into the Smartcard Reader. The Microsoft documentation for this API
can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/wcesecurity5/html/wce50conSmartCardResourceManager.asp
This API can also be used from managed code using P/Invoke. There are numerous
examples on the web and commercial solutions such as the Smartcard API (Windows CE)
from CardWerk (

).

attached and the Mobile Computer warm or cold booted. A warm boot is achieved by pressing
and holding the power button for approximately five seconds (until the Mobile Computer
reboots). A cold boot is achieved by pressing and holding down the 1 and 9 keys and then
pressing and releasing the power button.
