I have connected a retired DSS smart card to my Picstart +.
I have a neato application that these units would work great
on.  However, I have found no evidence that it is possible,
but am told it is just a 16F84 and thus ICSP connections
should apply.

I've also heard that the logic for the /MCLR may be inverted,
and on some cards, C7 - RB6.

In the ISO specification, VPP is also connected to C6, is
this required?

The connections I've used:

C1 - VCC
C2 - /MCLR
C3 - RB6
C4 - NC
C5 - VSS
C6 - NC
C7 - RB7
C8 - NC

I did extract something, after several tries.  The oscillator
was LP, watchdog was off, power up timer was on, and code
protect was on --- as expected.

Any help?
