G83-6744 keyboard + smart-card reader

I'm thinking of buying one of these keyboards with a built in smart card
reader:

http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/keyboards/Security/Smart_Card_Keyboards/index.htm

Which I understand is supported by GnuPG as per:

http://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/smartcard-howto-single.html

However, the place I'm planning on purchasing from:

https://www.keyboardspecialists.co.uk/Shop/KBS/Product/2873/G83-6744/CherryG83-6744SmartBoard.aspx

Has two different models:

G83-6744LUAGB-2
G83-6744LUZGB-2

And no explanation as to the difference. I've tried to contact their
support but haven't heared back yet. Does anyone have any experience of
this keyboard? Does anyone know what the slightly differing model
numbers mean? Am I right in assuming that they will *both* work fine
with GnuPG?

Looks to me like the only difference between both models is in their
certifications. Maybe you want to take a look at the product page[1],
where the following information is given in the models listing:

G83-6744LUAGB-2 -> EMV 2000 Level 1

G83-6744LUZGB-2 -> EMV 2000 Level 1, Common Criteria EAL 3+

HTH.

Cheers,
Michael

Cherry once sent me a sample and helped me to make the keypad work.
That was good at that time. However the keyboards are Omnikey based and
thus they won't work with the v2 cards (or any other 2048 bit card) on
non-Windows platforms.

Is there a keyboard with a built in SmartCard reader which *does* work
under Linux with v2 cards?
