ACR38F Smart Floppy
Software Development Kits

The ACR38F Smart Floppy is the ideal solution for an easy integration of smart card readers into the desktop environment. It uses the same core as the ACR38 Smart Card Series, and shares the versatility and cost-efficiency that customers have always associated with ACS smart card readers. Using the USB interface, it is propelled by the PC's internal power supply, and can be configured to suit customer preferences.

Similar to ACR38, the ACR38F Floppy Bay Smart Card Reader is very user-friendly. ACR38F is now CCID-compliant, enabling its plug-and-play feature that eliminates the need for driver installation and driver-system compatibility assessment. It is ideal for a wide variety of smart card applications such as electronic commerce, home banking, e-purse facility and secure computer access.
