For the v1 card you may want to have a look at the flylogic.net blog;
they have lots of entries about different chips.  There is no specific
entry about the v1 card iirc, but I once sent them a few cards and they
told me it would be easy to read it out using their equipment.

For a general overview on the grade of tamper resistance you may want to
start at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/tamper/ .
