6- and 8-pin chipcards..?

Hello everybody,

my problem is not strictly related to libchipcard, but maybe somebody
can help me nevertheless. I have a Gemplus Twin USB reader which is
working fine - e.g., I've managed to backup my mobile phone card.
However, out of curiosity, I tried to read my health card, too, and the
reader doesn't even react to its insertion. 

The only difference I can spot is the fact that the SIM card and a third
generic card which I tried and which is also recognized have 8 pins on
the chip, whereas the health card has only 6. AFAIK the lower 2 pins,
which are missing, are not connected anyway in most cases, but the
Gemplus Twin reader seems to check for them nevertheless. Does anybody
have a hint for me how I could access this card anyway?

Thanks, Yours, Florian
