I have an SCM Smart Card from 1996 which runs under DOS and Win3.1.

On Win98 (dual boot) it found the card reader and I installed it.

It knows when the card is removed and the card reader itself beeps
when w98 comes up. But it does not create any drive letter for using
the PCMCIA card. I use it so infrequently that I just wait until I'm
in DOS, but it is annoying.

We cannot expect Win98 to manage pre-98 devices
(e.g. to display your Smart Card as a pseudodrive) unless
a device driver is loaded to enable this. There are a few
"generic" USB freeware drivers that may reward experiment.
