Sure. I built [prototypes of] such a card 6+ years ago, minus the PINpad. There are at least 2 vendors of such cards today, and at least one vendor of a card that includes a PINpad. $$$ and very niche. Also, no one really wants to use such a card. So there's no question it can be built in USB form factor. But I don't believe there are any customers and so the product is not actually shipping. It would take the first customer to commit, before they built it. Someone here must be on a first-name-basis with someone at Feitian?
