Since we are into card types with T=CL, I know of:

IBM JCOPS (dual interface), which is on the Philips Mifare ProX silicon.
Both Orga and Gemplus are selling the cards. This apparently can be
configured at personalisation time to be either Mifare compliant or T=CL on
the contactless interface (14443 Type A). This is intended for EMV use
(payment application on the contact interface) and may have some
restrictions on its use in high volumes.

Schlumberger have for some time been selling dual interface cards on the
earlier Philips Mifare Pro silicon. These can also be configured for either
T=CL or Mifare, but probably at silicon manufacture time (in the ROM). Again
14443 Type A.

ASK have the MV5100 range (the Venus card, ex-Motorola, on STM ST19 silicon,
dual interface - the OS is now owned by ERG Group of Australia). Type B
14443 and T=CL. They also have an earlier range on ST16 silicon, but I never
had any details.

Setec Oy (Finland) have dual interface cards on the Infineon 66 series dual
interface silicon. 14443, but I cannot remember whether its Type A or Type
B. Rather slow, but I hope they are working on that.

There are probably a couple of other European products (e.g. from Giesecke &
Devrient), and there are also some Japanese products associated with their
national ID card project. I'm trying to get an update on the Sharp card with
1Mbyte memory (I only have data on its contact interface functions, and that
is under NDA). The Japanese project is going for Type B 14443.

As for readers, most of the western hemisphere suppliers still seem to offer
only kits for building access controllers (for access to buildings, that
is). The other readers that I know of are for use with bus ticket machines
and train station gates (there's a beaut from Cubic in San Diego, DSP based,
tells you everything about the card), and are not available as separate
units. However, a contact has suggested Omnikey as a source of a
PC-connected reader, although I cannot find the details of the product.
Micropross in France have readers for use in their LAN-based test equipment
configurations - you will have to ask if T=CL (and Type B) are supported
yet. In Japan there are point of sale readers, with a SLOT for the
contactless card (saw a picture recently on a Sharp promo video).

Us Brits know quite a bit about this technology (we helped with 14443 part
3, but never raised the money to prove out the Type B as now documented in
the standard, although we know the products work).
