What would be your usecase? First of all, do you know of any mainstream enduser devices that provide simultaneous reading of both the chip and magstripe, via the same interface? I expect such devices exist in the ATM OEM industry, but have no idea about the interfaces they provide.
How would that work? There are no existing standard drivers (except for serial interfaces) for magstripe readers I know of. There is no API in the winscard interface for this (introducing arbitrary SCardReadMagstripe would be as useful as some HSM companies having "standard PKCS#11 modules" with extra C_* functions not described by spec nor implemented in interoperable software).
