Hi,
I'm looking to add a smart card reader (FRU# 04W1638) to my T420, but unfortunately all the stores and auctions either have none in stock, have priced it ridiculously high or do not ship here. I do have other components (hard drive cover and cable).
Since the availability is poor, I've started looking into T410's smart card reader (FRU# 45N6030 and 60Y5029)
According to ThinkWiki ( http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Lenovo_In ... ard_Reader ), at least vendor- and product ID-s match for T410 and T430, so that's probably the case for T420 as well. Visually (Google image search) comparing the readers, they appear identical apart from labels, but cables differ a bit (T410's cable is narrower at connection and becomes wider while T420's has constant width).
So my question is - has anyone used T410 smart card reader in T420? Does it function, are connections, voltage etc the same?
Thank you in advance
Can T410 smart card reader be used in T420?

The T430 reader works in a T420. In case of 430 and 420, the connectors etc. are same and it shows up as a USB device.
