Hello, That is what the command is supposed to return. 61 17 means that there is an additional 17 bytes of returned data. This particular card is T=0 and since you can send data (ie:3f 00) there is another method to retrieve the data from the card which is called the get REsponse (c0 c0 00 00 data length) This will return the 0x17 bytes of data. 0x61 XX is a success status word but it means there is additional data that must be retrieved using get response.
