Hi Jorim,
These recent Vasco smart card readers implement the new (Vasco)
Pseudo-APDU standard. Specifications available at:
http://www.pcscworkgroup.com/specifications/files/pcsc10_v2.02.01_sup.pdf
Hence this type of smart card reader moves the burden of supporting
the readers towards the software vendors, instead of -as common- the
smart card manufacturer by means of providing proper working Windows
drivers.
I've already been in contact with Vasco concerning this issue. No
development track has been planned to add support for this type of
smart card reader within the eID Applet. So for the moment I suggest
that you simply use another smart card reader.
It works on sites that use the eID Middleware instead of the eID
Applet since Vasco apparently managed to push the PPDU support at
FedICT within the eID Middleware. See also:

Kind Regards,
