Hi all,

some more investigation results in the following observation:  Some ATR
seem to be without the final TCK (checksum) byte.  So far I thought,
that the TCK is always present.

As it seems, ISO 7816-3 indicates that TCK is _not_ present if a card
only supports the T=0 protocol.

So SIMtrace was working for all cards that e.g. support T=0 and T=1, but
failed for those that only do T=0 like our 16in1 SIM cards used on 27C3
and the CCC Camp 2011.

I've again attached an updated firmware image.  Please follow the
dfu-util instructions from my last message to install it in your
SIMtrace device.

I'd appreciate if this new firmware solves the commonly-observed bug
resulting in USB disconnect and the "No SIM card" error observed in some
phones.

Regards,
	Harald
