Using cardreaders to fill out forms in IE

Hi, I'm not sure if this should be here in IE or in .NET. I use vs.net2k3 and
would like to find a way where I can fill out a form in a web page, using the
information which i can get from a cardreader. I may also use a fingerprint
reader to capture the fingerprint. The devices will most likely be USB driven.

I was thinking of ActiveX components, but I am not familiar with them. Are
there other ways? If not, how do I get started on ActiveX to allow the
browser to talk to the devices? I've looked in MSDN, but more precise links
would be appreciated
TIA
