Whether you just bought a new Apple product that only supports USB-C or you're doing a little future-proofing, here's a list of our favorite USB-C card readers for Mac.

  These things were a huge pain in the..well..you know.. I receive a lot of 'My CAC card doesn't work' requests while doing IT in the Marine Corps, often resulting in a 'Call NMCI!'.

  You are correct about working best with IE, but Many of the military sites do not work well with IE 9, 10, or compatibility mode. They want you to use IE 8 most often. This is a real pain ans Rdb2013 mentioned.

  Thanks for the info and I will take a look at the site.

  Thanks for the info. Many government agencies prefer having IE8 as the official supported browser. We're required to use it on our installs. But we are also allowed to distribute other browsers.

  Sony optiarc dvd rw ad 7700h driver for mac. Windows 10 + Chrome, and you may be able to use your CAC a lot easier, as in: plug the CAC reader into your box, insert your card into the reader, open Chrome and visit a dot mil or gov or whatever site. This may work with other OSes and Chrome as well.
