I found an old smart card test card with PIC16C84 and a memory chip.
Depending on the software put to PIC it could have maybe emulated telephone booth calling card, SIM card, satellite TV smartcard, cable TV smartcard or something else.
That’s a fascinating find! The PIC16C84 and memory chip combo suggests a versatile platform for emulating various smart card applications, from telecom to pay-TV systems.
