[Noisebridge-discuss] Smart card reader/token generator

[Meredith L. Patterson]

Hi all,

My intended 3-day trip to SF has turned into an open-ended one, but I have a problem I need to solve. Does anyone happen to have, or know where I can find, a Vasco Digipass 800 series smart card reader? It's a standalone device (about the size and shape of a cheap pocket calculator) that I have to use for PC banking with my Belgian account; I insert my bank card, key in an 8-digit challenge, and it computes an 8-digit response that I need to log into my bank's website.

I've checked Vasco's website for vendors, and emailed a few, but none have responded; ebay also comes up empty, and every electronics store I've called has no idea what I'm talking about. If any noisebridgers have one, my landlord and I would be immensely grateful.

Cheers,
--mlp
