No, it doesn't work like that. There is no standardisation of the comms
protocol between the PC COM port and readers. As well as commands which get
sent on to the card and a method for getting the responses from the card,
there are commands to the reader and responses from the reader. That is why
you have to have a reader-specific driver level of software in the PC, as
well as having above that level (although too often, it seems, integrated
with that level) a layer of software specific to the card (and, if the card
hosts an app with proprietary commands, driver software specific to that app
as well unless you use a pass-through function in the existing card/reader
drivers).

Hi,
It is very much possible. Without any wrappers
you can talk with smartcard through port.
Also it is same as
Open Port-> Send Command -> Expect response.
apdu will come as a part of command.
