Ah, ok. Philips also has ICs for contactless readers that do support ISO
14443-4, but those don't seem to be widely distributed yet. I think
they're called "Pegoda" and they sell smaller samples under the "MF EV700"
and "MF EV800" identifiers.

IBM's JCOP 3.0 cards (http://www.zurich.ibm.com/javacard) support a T=CL
contactless interface, and they refer people to Philips for those readers,
but these are only supported in Windows.

Thanks again
