You're talking about not initialized cards. First, it's near impossible to
find cards in this state, so the doc would be useless, and second, the
commands available in these modes are generally secret and not even
available with NDAs outside the manufacturer. In these initialization
states, cards are not javacards yet, they are totally proprietary objects,
as you might already know.

Aditionnaly, please avoid talking about "JCOP" when referring to Java Card,
JCOP is a (not so good for all applications) NXP product, and fortunately,
there are bunch of other manufacturers and cards, such as the Oberthur
Cosmo, the Gemalto GXP/GCX and some others at G&D, for example.

All of these cards follow a single standard, namely Java Card.
