I have tested succesfully PC/SC Lite with 15 readers. Why don't only 15? Because I have just again 2 readers:
- one on a serial port and I have only one serial on my PC, and
- one on USB but its driver don't support more than one reader connected in the same time.
I have used 2 PCMCIA readers, 1 serial reader, 12 USB readers. See after the output of testpcsc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Sources/PCSC/pcsc-lite-1.1.2/src$ ./testpcsc

Doing this test has required many requests to many manufacturers in order their drivers readers support many readers in the same time on the same computer.
The free community has been very quick to support this.
Also I wish thank all the people who have developed PC/SC Lite and FREE drivers.
You can see on the web [1] a picture from our project. This is not again a picture of hardware working on PC/SC Lite.
Indeed there is a contactless reader not supporting now on PC/SC Lite and there are 2 SCR331 in the same time and now the driver accepts only one but SCM Microsystems works on this problem.
