Just to futz.  :)

I've got an American Express Blue card, which has a smart card chip, my
satellite receiver smart card, and a few others of unknown type
(friend's relative is fairly high up in Schlumberger).  I've got two
PC/SC smart card readers, and I just want to poke around on the cards,
see what different things do, that sort of thing.

Unfortunately, most of the DSS stuff I was pointed to requires more
low-level access to the card reader, which usually means a hand-made one
hanging off a parallel or serial port.

You'd think there'd be a "Smart Card Explorer" that lets you look at all
the data stored on a card, no?
