This KessV2 clone works fine and did not require any reworking or component replacement:

This Galleto V54 clone also worked fine without requiring any reworking.

Neither can read the ISN/SK. Both install an RSA bypass so that altered calibration files can be written.

It works but I personally wouldn't use it, the software is way too flakey.

Neither Kess nor FGTech softwares are particularly well engineered. They are inflexible and glitches can occur. I've had them fail to complete or give error messages on a couple of occasions but nothing that simply re-running the session did not overcome.

If I was running any kind of business I probably would not use either clone but as a hobbyist I'm very happy.

Good to know it will work, yeh the software is pretty bad, but it can't see it doing any harm just getting a read.

Good to know that just restarting the process solves any issue's if it fails.

I have a mate with an originial Kess, so I could probably borrow that if needed, but as I have the FGTech clone already I just wondered if it would be any use with the MSS60.
