NFC programming without NFC chip in Tablets / Phones?

A short question but can't find no confirmation on other Forums. Hopefully someone knows on stackoverflow.

QUESTION: if I have a tablet that does not have a NFC chip inside, but I use an external NFC reader (With Android Support Library) connected to the tablet - can I still manipulate the data (read / write) from the NFC card (tapped on the external NFC reader) through my Application on Tablet ?

To me it seems possible, since the NFC reader has to do the reading and then I communicate with the reader through my Application. Since the reader supports Android Library, it should work. Please confirm.

Yes, this is possible. The ACR 122U download includes an Android SDK. I have published an Android util demonstrating some rudimentary functionality in Google play - ACR 122 USB NFC Reader Utils. I have also other apps for some of the other ACS readers, and a (paid) app aimed at developers doing proof of concept apps.
