AVR-Chat

The AVR would have to be a USB host - and that protocol stack is very
complex/large

Subject: [AVR-Chat] Interesting device

  On Saturday, I attended a Meet&Greet function for our local FreeCycle
organization (check out www.freecycle.org for mor einformation on a
wonderful movement).  There, I obtained an odd thing:  A USB based
"Smart Card Reader" (branded for Target Stores).  Included is a CD with
the drivers and so on for WinBlows.

   In any case, it occured to me when I saw it that this might prove a
useful toy to have.  Wondering if anyone here has interfaced such a
thing to an AVR?  I know Atmel makes SmartCard chips.  It may become the
basis for some sort of an interesting project, eh?

   Well, for free it seemed like a bargain too good to pass up (much to
my poor suffering wife's chagrin).
