The vendor ID and product ID can be verified by Device Manager, detailed information of Alcor Micro Smart Card Reader.
2. On Virtualbox, change setting of the guest. USB -> Add filters --> Choose device 0580:9540. Check the box and start the guest OS.
3. When the guest is started, it will indicate new hardware is found. Installing the driver automatically ends up with a failure.
4. Download the driver from HP's website manually.
Choose Alcor Micro Smart Card Reader Driver (International)
