The design of the board (RX-N99B-2) is very simple with just the main chip: Alcor AU9560 USB smart card controller. We can also see the area that interfaces with the smart card’s chip on the bottom left side of the PCB. The other side of the board just has a smart card slot. Using the Smart Card Reader in Ubuntu 18.04. Let’s connect the. Should I remove Alcor Micro Smart Card Reader Driver by Alcor Micro? Alcor Micro Smart Card Reader Driver enables users to read from or write to supported removable storage cards, which are typically used in digital cameras, digital music players, and cellular phones.
I've had this software running in production for years and never seen this problem before. I just received a new laptop (HP EliteBook 8470p) that has a built-in Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader.
The code below will list all readers on a system and seems to work fine. Some of our systems will have 3 or 4 readers plugged in to a single computer. It's been tested with a dozen or so models with no issues.
Strangely, the Alcor reader will only get listed when a Smart Card is inserted. If I look at it in Device Manager, it doesn't show up under the 'Smart card readers' until a card is inserted, too (unless I go to View > Show Hidden Devices).
Does anyone know why this is or if there's a way to make sure it gets listed in my software?
Thank you.
The code:
Btw, this code was written by someone else who I'm guessing (by the over-abundance of comments) found it somewhere else online. Generate rsa key parameters where. I'm somewhat familiar with it but never gotten too deep into it. I've tried making several tweaks to it and can't get it to list that Alcor reader at all.

Ok, I feel really stupid finding the answer immediately after opening the bounty. I spent a while looking at this from a software perspective and gave up for a while - when I came back to revisit this I decided it might be suited for a bounty.
I decided to take a closer look at my BIOS options, and guess what? There's an option in there that says 'Power on Smart Card Reader: a) when card is inserted, b) always'. I changed it to 'Always' and it works. Android tool free download for pc. ARGH
It won't let me delete my question since it has a bounty now, but that's basically my answer. Thanks for the comments/advice.
