Make sure to go for ExpressCard. PCMCIA chips are on par with PCI chips, there are no docs and also no good API. Buy a few different ExpressCard readers and test. ExpressCard is bog standard PCI-Express x1 and USB 2.0. PCIe bandwidth isn't needed for a smart card reader, so ExpressCard readers should be CCID USB devices. As was mentioned, those are good/the best readers for open source systems. http://www.dustin.se/pd_5010134353.aspx http://www.dustin.se/pd_5010373434.aspx Sadly not in stock at Dustin. You could also try ordering from Gemalto: http://boutique.gemalto.com/boutique/GEMALTO-B2CCORP-Site/-/Pc-Express-Reader/pdu-WFS-en_US-EUR-wrAKAwOEefAAAAEizsko8Cyo-PqMKAwOE0S8AAAElGeseUAux;pgid=mvVSSnc0o4FSR0IaStIrwgc40000sVsxXoue;sid=7n-X4f3aWmd08LFa5zLM4_7QFv5sbsBbN2yqYCTJ0_5O8g==?JumpTo=OfferList&ParcoursTracking=.Cat.2CATALOGBIS Gemalto mentions says this is "USB Microsoft CCID" (sheesh, as if Microsoft would be significant there) and the Omnikey one is supposed to support Linux, according to Dustin. I bet they're both standard CCID readers. > Even though that may be a relative small cost, it's a stupid an > unnecessary cost in my opinion.
