an additional note, Neolinux 2.4 would ONLY work witrh ActivCard branded
readers. If you look at one of those and the standard SCR331, you can tell
they are probably made in the same factory but there is something different
in the ROM image. The ROM image and version of the readers is very
important. We see similar issues with HP thin clients and XPe.
