Do they look like credit cards?  If so, smart cards.

Do they look like the chips you put into a digital camera?  If so,
memory cards.

Do they have 80 columns of 12 rows with rectangular holes?  If so, 
punch cards.

Sometimes drivers make these look like tiny hard disks.  You can
access them by drive letter.  Server side Java cannot look at hard
disks without some signed app running on the client to do the looking
for them.

Can you point me to docs on the drivers?  You may have to access them
via C using JNI.

What brand/model of card reader did you buy?
