The common "adapter" for communication with smart cards is a card terminal. Most card terminals can be connected to the pc by USB xor Serial (RS232).

"SATSA 1.0 Installation Guide":

http://java.sun.com/j2me/docs/satsa/Install177.pdf

JC-RMI is only supported by Java Card version 2.2.1. If you want to use it don't by old card of version 2.1.2! Search for JCOP41v2.2 cards. At the moment they can be only bought directly from IBM:

It includes a license for the JCOP Java Card development environment plugin for eclipse 2 or 3.1 wich is a good start in my opinion.
