Why do you think that a pure Java solution would help you? In many
cases for specialized hardware such as PCMCIA cards, you still need
the underlying OS driver to be able to see the device and at least
provide the appropriate access methods, no matter that the device
interface is exported to a Java client or not.
Even in Sun's ill-fated JavaStation, we still had some native code
that the Java device drivers depended on to be able to access the
underlying hardware.
As a side note, one of the only "pure" Java devices available today
is the aJile processor/JStamp board(see: http://www.systronix.com).
Not really related to OCF or smartcards, but interesting nonetheless.
