I think if your programmers are able to read and write eeprom and pic of sat smartcards they should be ok for use with simscan.
There's only 2 progs available for ki extraction that I know of:
Cardinal6.8... but you should NOT use this as there's a good chance this will f*ck up your original cards... This is my own experience
Simscan 1.33... This works perfect. The new 1.33 version is also very fast!
If you have troubles running simscan try to run if with pc booted from win98 bootdisk and use a dos extender like CWSDPMI.EXE.
The first time you should get a file named PAR2.BIN (takes about an hour) but on some pc's (including mine) this fails... I can send you if you need it.
You can use F5-F1 to extract KI with simscan v1.33
for old version (1.21) use F5-F3
Hope this wil help you.
