In fact ... you *are* in big troubles.. :-). Sorry.
The enoying (to say the least) habits of PC/SC to lock the port at
boot time is somehow forcing people to use the PCSCCardTerminal
wrapper instead of the Java versions as soon as there is at least
one application needing PC/SC.. :-(
If the new version of PC/SC (2.0) is not coming soon, and with drivers
allowing to use synchronous cards, you'll have a hard time.
In order to try getting around the problem, I would suggest:
- to try the two readers/two ports solutions (it has worked here
when we tried PC/SC in connection with OCF/javax.comm or GCR API),
- to try (w/o any warranty of any kind) to compile the PC/SC sources
of David Corcoran on Windows (!) instead of the MS one, because
if you can get your other apps drivers to work on David's PC/SC
(the API is identical and the drivers are dealing with low-level
OS-dependent APIs, so it's not theoritically impossible!), then
you could tune *his* resource manager to avoid locking the port
permanently. I think David even said on the MUSCLE mailing-list
that it will be an option at compile time. See the MUSCLE code at:
http://www.linuxnet.com/middleware/middleware.html
Also have a look at the MUSCLE mailing-list archives because there
has been mentions of memory cards supports from time to time:

And... Good luck! :-)
Cheers,
Christophe.
