smartcard readers in Sun boxes

Is it a sun ray by any chance? This is a thin client and used smartcards to
authenticate users so they could plug in a get their desktop on any Sun Ray
terminal. If so I doubt the card reader is removable or reusable.

Hi
I was at the local computer recycler shop yesterday and found a Sun
box with a smartcard reader in it and a card in the reader. Does
anyone know what connection type the reader has and if it can be
reused, eg, is it USB with linux drivers or proprietary?

If I can reuse it I'll go back down and take it out and add it to my
collection.
