Instead of the binary hack, it would be better to write a card
handler that calls Lantern card handler methods if the detected card
is your IBM. It would be safer as well.

You can get a reference to Lantern card handler using the name
server. I haven't checked but it is probably registered as
TCardHandler:TLanterCardHandler.
