Is the PCMCIA controller installed as a W98 device? If it's not, that's
where you need to start. Check the specifications for your machine and find
the drivers for W98 from the manufacturer. There are probably only two
options for a machine of that era.

Alternatively, load the PCMCIA drivers that you are using in the DOS boot
from the W98 CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT - that should give you access to
the card as a DOS device (although it might require the card to be inserted
at boot time in order to get a drive letter).

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.
