Can you please post what's written on the simyo one? 
I've got a new simyo card too and it claims to be 1.8V, but i don't have a
freerunner to test it and i can't justify buying one if it's likely that it
won't work....

second line of the text on my sim reads 72K 1.8V #569 J276

If your card is similar that would be intersting.
