Topic: libnfc/touchatag and ISO14443 Type B

Hello,
I have been playing with the Andante public transport tickets from Porto, which are presumably ISO14443 Type B tags:
http://www.statemaster.com/encyclopedia/Andante-ticket

My reader device is the touchatag reader, which according to its specs should also support these ISO14443 Type B tags:
http://www.touchatag.com/touchatag-rfid-reader

I have been trying to read those tags using the latest SVN version 253 of libnfc by selecting ISO14443B_106 using the following code:
nfc_initiator_select_tag(pnd,NM_ISO14443B_106,NULL,0,&nti)

Unfortunately none of the two tickets I have is recognized. Did I miss something I should consider for these tag types?
I'd like to add support for these tags to my application, since this might be simply a cheap source of RFID tags.

best regards,
Martin.K
