american express GCR435 card reader

[aswvbnr]

I have a card reader issued by American Express from several years go. On the bottom it has the Gemplus logo and a model number of GCR435. Anyone have luck connecting this with SIM Manager and reading/writing SIM cards?

How is the reader detected by the system? Does the device manager list it in the section of smart card readers? If yes, then it should be PC/SC compliant, thus you will be able to use it with the software.

Otherwise - no, since a PC/SC compliant smart card reader is required.

Can you provide the exact name of the card reader? Or a link to a page with its specifications?

It doesn't sound like a PC/SC card reader, but we can double-check that.
