PE-118 was an internal smart card reader with a parallel interface, developed around 1990 by Philips (France) for the development of TB-100 smart cards. The device required a CONBIN 1 I/O card to be installed in the ISA bus system of a Personal Computer (PC), of which the parallel port was used for connection to he PE-118. The PE-118 itself had the form factor of a 5¼" floppy drive and was installed in an empty floppy bay.

The device is suitable for both type of ISO 7816-2 cards: with the contact pads in the top left corner (the standard until 1990) and with the contact pads at the left centre (the standard from 1990 onwards).
