Hi Bettina,

Yes, the GemPC433 is supported. Have a look at my CCID driver homepage
[1] for a list of supported readers.

> CardOS/M3 (T=1)

Since you use T=1 cards you have two options:
- implement the T=1 protocol in TPDU in my CCID driver. But that may not
  be a good option
- use a CCID reader working in APDU mode (instead of TPDU mode). My CCID
  driver support T=1 cards if the reader works in APDU mode (and does
  all the T=1 magic).

Have a look at [2] and search readers working in APDU. Until now we
have:
- CardMan3121
- GemPC433_SL

The GemPC Key and GemPC Twin do not tell they support APDU but they do.
You just have to switch them (the code to switch them is commented in
ccid-0.3.1/src/ccid.c)

So the complete list of APDU mode readers is:
- CardMan 3121
- GemPC 433
- GemPC Key
- GemPC Twin

> The GemPC410 works bad with CardOS and not at all with Starcos cards.

What do yo mean by "works bad"? Maybe you can send me the bug
description by private mail.

You will have to try Damien's pcsc-lite version for this.
