It was tried by Sean Luke before, and it didn't work. But it didn't=20
work because the system didn't even wanted to let me have a look at=20
the card -- the built-in ATA driver returned a non standard error (it=20
usually says no partition map found because it always reads zeroes).=20
And in such a case, the system consider that the error is=20
unrecoverable and doesn't ask third party card handlers.
I fixed that problem since RC4 I think. I patch the built-in ATA=20
driver to always say no partition map found and the system now asks=20
me about any card that is inserted.
Nevertheless, AFAIK, nobody reported it worked/didn't work since.
