I cannot give you detailed information on the bevahivor
of the Microsoft virtual machine. But I know that there are,
or at least were, problems with using javax.comm from
within the sandbox of a(ny) browser. This is because in the
versions of javax.comm we used, the required DLLs
were linked in by static initializers, which did not (and can
not) request the permissions/privileges required to link in
a DLL. Please check the javax.comm documentation for
any "known bugs", and also the corresponding FAQ on
Sun's Java homepage.

I suggest that you use a PC/SC driver for your card reader,
along with the PCSCCardTerminal(Factory). Most likely,
you will have to do some browser-specific things before
starting OCF in order to reach out of the Java sandbox.
See also classes opencard.opt.ms.MicrosoftSystemAccess
and opencard.opt.netscape.NetscapeSystemAccess for
details on requesting permissions/privileges. Along with
the developer documentation for the browser you want to
support, you should be able to use OCF's native browser
support instead of the Java plug-in. Alas, different versions
of your applet will be needed for IE and Netscape, not to
mention HotJava :-(
