  • This plugin is derived from but NOT compatible with RealtekCardReaderFriend.
  • This plugin is for decoration purposes only, and your card information will NOT be present by System Information.
  • This plugin does NOT work out of box, and you must follow the guide to specify the vendor and the product identifiers of your card reader.
