AFAIK there is no agreed upon standard on how to do memory cards over 
SCardControl(FEATURE_MCT_READER_DIRECT or FEATURE_MCT_UNIVERSAL), even if it 
would be implemented by some drivers. And even if there was, there's no 
standard like the CCID pinpad spec which would say how to universally talk to 
those chips that implement the required feature on the driver level.

PC/SC as an API does not forbid you from talking to the IFD directly per se.
