never heard anybody using it for CS
and
just for fun decided to test how it may work with some of my cards
obviously first at all plug it in
then install drivers
sudo apt-get install coolkey pcscd pcsc-tools pkg-config libpam-pkcs11 opensc libengine-pkcs11-openssl
for now go have a look if your card is recognised:
pcsc_scan
PC/SC device scanner

for now you can see it is working nice in reader
Had no time to test every card in this reader
but using oscam it is working, but gives really bad ECM times
about 200ms more compare to Omnikey 3121 on my viasat card
but it is still workig
and it looks nice![]()
