Alcor Smart Card Reader Software
When I attached this reader to Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6, & v10.7; I could not get it to be recognized by pcscd ( a daemon on Mac OS X that is used to communicate with smart card readers ).

The code below will list all readers on a system and seems to work fine. Some of our systems will have 3 or 4 readers plugged in to a single computer. It's been tested with a dozen or so models with no issues.
Strangely, the Alcor reader will only get listed when a Smart Card is inserted. If I look at it in Device Manager, it doesn't show up under the 'Smart card readers' until a card is inserted, too (unless I go to View > Show Hidden Devices).
Does anyone know why this is or if there's a way to make sure it gets listed in my software?
Thank you.
Ps/2 port. The code:
Btw, this code was written by someone else who I'm guessing (by the over-abundance of comments) found it somewhere else online. I'm somewhat familiar with it but never gotten too deep into it. I've tried making several tweaks to it and can't get it to list that Alcor reader at all.
Thanks!

Ok, I feel really stupid finding the answer immediately after opening the bounty. I spent a while looking at this from a software perspective and gave up for a while - when I came back to revisit this I decided it might be suited for a bounty.
I decided to take a closer look at my BIOS options, and guess what? There's an option in there that says 'Power on Smart Card Reader: a) when card is inserted, b) always'. I changed it to 'Always' and it works. ARGH
It won't let me delete my question since it has a bounty now, but that's basically my answer. Thanks for the comments/advice.
