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.
