Thank you for the note, but unfortunately this is not possible because 
it is the embedded version of the reader. there is only one card slot 
like the one in a cash machine. The case is made of metal and the nfc 
card is only detected when (slowly) put into the reader slot...

The Reader Slot: https://deribo.de/slot.jpg
The Reader itself: https://deribo.de/4701jpg

Does pcslite generally support two active cards (nfc and chip) in a dual 
reader at the same time? Or is the hardware telling that the nfc card 
was removed?

thank you very much
Dennis
