is there any label on it? the old scr serial readers work fine with openct, and I guess there is a driver for pcsc too (not 100% sure). also check what interface your onlie banking software needs, maybe it needs a ct-api driver? check what your software needs, what your hardware is, and if there is a software driver to fill the gap. if that doesn't work out: ask yourself - how much time will you invest to save 10 euro for a new usb smart card reader (or more money, if you buy a fancy one with display and/or pinpad)? if you want to hack it, you need windows and the software that works on it for windows, and some tool to debug your serial port so you can see what is happening. be prepared to read the iso 7816-3/4 standard (or the smart card handbook by rankl/effing) so you know the most likely protocols t=0 and t=1 and can check if they are used, and what glue is used around them. often it is not much, but if you need precise timing to get the hardware to work, it can be quite some hacking. good luck either way!
