Patrik,

A couple quick things.....

	• Please submit any development bugs as a Ticket [1]
	• Everything must be compiled 64-bit for Snow Leopard (10.6.x)
	• ifd-ccid is actually statically linked to libusb and not IOKit
	• You can not just build your *own* version of pcsc-lite 1.5.5 (pcscd) for Mac OS X, since there 
		is a fair amount of Apple addtional code to integrate with securityd.  The v1.4.x that is included
		in Mac OS X is posted under the Source Branch.

Is it possible you are using Extended APDUs ?  Note at the Smart Card Reader Matrix [2] for the CCID Reader Driver that for the 3121, supports "short APDU mode" [3].
