Comments:
It seems that the GET_STATUS instruction is returning SW 0x6C0C. I am wondering if some card types are sensitive to Le being used and the current CardConnector does not issue a Le in the APDU.

A suggestion is to issue Le with 255 for all APDU commands which may help to accommodate more types of cards to run Electrum-Satochip by default.

Here's a GP.EXE execution with APDU with Le enabled:

It seems the pysatochip.CardConnector getting SW 0x6C0C is abit odd since without Le, GP.EXE returns SW 0x9C11 and pysatochip.CardConnector on the other hand returns 0x6C0C.

There seems to be some differences in how GP.EXE and pysatochip.CardConnector calls the smartcards ?

I noticed that Satochip v0.9 applet (SatoChip-3.0.4.cap) seems to be working properly.
