Hi list,

I use my OpenPGP SmartCard in my laptop (W7+Linux) with a PCMCIA reader.

I think about buying a new laptop. Unfortunately, new models often only
ExpressCard/54 slot is available today (if at all).

After having had trouble with built-in SmartCard readers,
I think it's a good idea to use a ExpressCard/54 reader instead.

It would help to have a hint which ExpressCard reader to buy.
The OpenPGP SmartCard HowTo does not recommend any ExpressCard reader.

I found two ExpressCard/54 readers:

* Gemalto PC Express (PCMCIA HWP114310D)

* SCM Microsystems SCR3340 Express Card Reader

  smart-card-readers-a-terminals/smart-card-readers/scr3340

Any hands-on experience with them or other suggestions?

Thanks,
Olav
