The 1U SE/HMC chassis did have an internal USB attached Smart Reader. This was always present! You would have to take it apart to access this USB attached devices đŸ™‚

However I noticed some HMC (2.15) report *non-existent* device. Yes, I checked it thoroughly. Imagine pizza-box HMC machine and all the cables and ports clearly visible. No place to hidden plug or USB hub. However the HMC reports Gemalto SmartCard Reader. SmartCard reader is typical equipment of TKE, but not HMC. And it is *not connected* externally. And I strongly doubt it could be connected internally - 1U chassis cannot contain SmartCard reader hidden inside. Yes, I'm pretty sure the HMC reports that device - I restarted HMC and observed all the messages. There is absolutely no way someone plugged/unplugged it during the process. Any clue? -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
