The GemXpresso RAD III is compatible with Linux (it is full Java and I even got it to run on Mac OS X with a bit of tweaking). I believe it uses the standard converter from Sun to generate the cap file so you theoretically do not need the RAD provided that: - you can get the .jar file related to your target card (to compile your applet), - you find a spec describing the Key derivation mechanism and the default keys used by Gemplus (used in the OP loader), - you can write the OP loader. These points are not Gemplus specific, you would need the same things for any Javacard. However, I would advise you to get the RAD as it comes with a debugger/simulator that you can integrate in Visual Cafe or JBuilder (you can get a free license for JBuilder for non commercial use). It also comes with the "Javacard Manager", an application to load/unload applets. The card you could use is the GemXpresso 211PK which works with the Muscle card framework (the "project files" necessary to compile+load the Applet with the RAD should be in Dave's distribution).
