Gary and Gniibe,

Apologize to be late response.

I tried Gnuk 1.1.4 with Win7-64 and got similar result as Gary reported.
Detail as follows.

1. Update FST-01 firmware to Gnuk 1.1.4

- Prepared GNU/Linux environment w/ Jessie-amd64-RC1,
  Note PC boot from USB-HDD.
- Installed gcc-arm-none-eabi (4.8.4-1+11-1) by apt-get install
- Build Gnuk 1.1.4 and reGNUal
- Installed python-usb by apt-get
- Update firmware of a fresh FST-01(factory shipped status, no keys written)
  by upgrade_by_passwd.py
- Put-off and Plug again the token
- Confirm "gpg --card-status" show good status with no keys.

  * One unusual. Blue LED of FST-01 starts blinking.

2. Plug new FST-01 to Win7 PC

- Reboot the note-pc from Win7-64bit SDD
- Plug the upgraded FST-01.
  Windows upgrade automatically start installing WUDF driver.
- "gpg --card-status" show error message as follow
    C:\Users\ug>gpg --card-status
    gpg: selecting openpgp failed: Card not present
    gpg: OpenPGPカードが利用できません: Card not present

    lowest lines means "gpg: OpenPGP card not available: Card not present"
- Blue LED blinking also with Win7

Regards,

Yuji
