The Smart Card slot was known to work with the smart cards it was
meant to work with.  As in, the driver actually functioned with
application software that talked to cards.  In fact, it functioned
well enough that we let thousands of people use them, at the Oracle 8
launch in NYC and at Oracle OpenWorld in Los Angeles.

I dunno what the technical specs on those were, though.  (You might
look at the Shark web site.)
