If this can be helpfull, I can make tests without problems. I also have see the Solaris 8 has support for it. I don't really want to use Solaris, but I have it installed on the SunBlade, and I can also make tests on it if needed. Good day.

Re: MUSCLE Smartcard reader from Sun
Very interesting, but the text from Sun is not at all clear. If the smart card really is connected [directly] to the I2C interface, this reader will only accept I2C interface memory cards. But because I2C is not 7816 compliant, one would expect that the reader module has a 7816-compliant slot, some electronics, and (the other side of the electronics from the card interface) an I2C interface. Then all that is needed is a driver for the smart card reader... (tongue firmly in cheek, 'cos I have designed smart card readers and tested many more).

MUSCLE Smartcard reader from Sun
Hello all, I'm totaly new in the smartcard field. I have just received a SunBlade 100 workstation with a Sun smartcard reader inside, so I want to know if there is a chance to use it from a Debian GNU/Linux for SPARC distribution. I have surf a little on the MUSCLE web site, and on the mailing list archive, but it seem the supported reader are only serial, USB or PCMCIA reader. Here is a small abscract with a description of the reader (comming from http://docs.sun.com/htmlcoll/coll.724.1/iso-8859-1/SBLADE100SVC/appdC.htm#108318 ) : == The smart card reader interface is ISO 7816 compliant. The smart card reader is mounted to the peripheral assembly at the front of the system chassis. A 10-pin ribbon cable connects the smart card PCB to the connector of the riser board. The smart card will connect to the on-board I2C (SMBus) interface on the SouthBridge ASIC. == Thanks in advance.
