As usual with Omnikey stuff: Docs are hard to get and they are not eager
to help developers to get their hadware working.

I had severe problems with mine; according to people working with the
Windows driver it is known that these readers have problems with
extended length APDUs.  I have not used mine for weeks; I'll try it
later.

> I am surprised you invested so much energy in supporting (limited) readers instead of using existing TPDU or extended APDU readers.

The driving force is that we have the new OpenPGP cards and can't use
them with laptops.  The CM4040 pccard reader is widely used and I
suggested it in the past to many folks; they are now using it on a daily
base (including me).

I know ;-)
