I bought one of these Aldi Tevion 52-in-1 card readers, and so
far it won't read any cards of any sort on my Linux system
(other card readers work OK).

It comes with a small CD containing a Windows "SIM Editor
Software" program.

I don't have a Windows system late enough to install it (needs
"2000/XP/Vista"), but the manual talks about changing PINs,
reading SMSs, and reading and changing address book entries.
