So SmartCard are now in Misc and Input in HID I think.
yes, it's right, but there was some bugs in Misc driverpack (check official topic)
]]>20081019 - Updated
I noticed there was large amount of duplication between DP Misc and DP SmartCardReader. And a good deal of the drivers in SmartCardReader were out of date. I had originally intended to update both DriverPacks, but it was becoming too complex and I began to wonder why biometric readers were in Misc instead of SmartCardReader. And would it be appropriate to call it SmartCardReader when there are other authentication security devices included. In the end I went with keeping it simple and to the point.
I intended on including all of the different Gem based drivers in this release - and then I accidentally deleted the directory. My recovery attempts didn't go so well, so their inclusion will have to wait until the next update.

Anyway, I guess the reason may lay with the different contributors.
If there's a lot of overlapping, the packs could be merged, IMO.
If you strip off the overlapping ones there may not be much left in one pack, I guess.
I think that some drivers in smartcard driverpack are similar to misc driverpack
Why don't make one pack ??
