Re: PSCS PS/2 driver,

Thanks, 

I'll look into it.

The thing is that I have never done that, but since there is no driver for my 
model, or any of this kind (it's a arx PrivateSafe smartcard reader wich is 
plugged into the same ps2 port as the keyboard). As I have some spare time, I 
just wanted some kind of basic on how to acces this device.  I thought that 
it would be different than a "simple" serial device since the keyboard is 
also connected there.  Arx did'nt give a lot of help, but I'll keep writing 
emails ;)

I've seen other card reader on the net (All discontinued) that use the same 
ps/2 port. I found them on this page :  http://www.pcscworkgroup.com/ in the 
compatible section.
