I found a couple of pages with information on the CAC:

an october news announcement, with pictures of a card reader hooked to a computer: defenselink

A brochure, intended for people getting a card for the first time:navy.mil

I've been told standard smartcards, the Linux guru says something about "MUSCLE" cards. Check out the ActivCard and Schlumberger websites with regards to smartcards. Of course the Apple CAC package is geared told DoD programmed smartcards but I've been told that they didn't test using DoD CAC cards which is why things don't work for DoD CACs. So clearly there are non-DoD cards that will work, these would be great for school and college labs.
