Easy way to tell - boot up your machine under 2K, then go into the hardware 
manager and look at the properties page for the smart card reader. That should 
have both the vendor name and the vendor and product ids for the device.

You're probably right though... which basically means you're out of luck given 
the various folks who have tried to find data on this chipset going back to 
2006.

I *think* the smart card stuff is attached off the SDIO bus (in W2k device 
manager - view by connections) which means the CCID stuff in PCSCD isn't going 
to be helpful - you're going to need a device specific driver.

Later, Mike
