Hi Michael,
If I have understood correctly, it can be a device similar to what is known
as "Plug-in SIM card adapter" for Dr. SIM. It can be sourced from ORGA
Kartensysteme GmbH, Germany. It is basically a PCB with the contact points
(goes into the card reader) and physical dimensions exactly as per the ISO
standards and an enclosure for the putting plug-in(GSM standard) size card
which remains outside the card reader.
Incase my understanding is right on the subject and you are facing some
difficulty in sourcing it, please let me know.
Cheers
