As far as I know, the ATR logic (Automatic Transmit Receiver) in the
FPGA *always* switches the
  RX-chain away from the TX/RX port when transmitting.   What I'm not
sure of is whether sending
  zeroes is enough to cause the ATR logic to go into "not transmitting",
or whether you actually
  have to interrupt the data flow.

Perhaps Josh can comment?
