Thanks for the pointer to SCardControl. Related question: would it be a suitable design, if I implement a swipe magstripe reader driver as a simple IFDHandler, not supporting any real ICC functions, with SCardConnect always returning e.g. SCARD_W_UNRESPONSIVE_CARD, and just reporting insert event after stripe was read by hw and eject event after the app reads the stripe data from the driver (via proprietary SCardControl call).
