paul,
a long time ago, i asked about being able to read a dos partition, so that
one could read a card from a digital camera and FTP the pix directly to a
web server. you said time would tell, but at that time, the answer was
negative.
i still think this would be an awesome feature for the ATA drivers and i
wonder if you have looked further into this issue.
thank you and keep up the good w=F6rk!
