I perused the archives, but I never got a definative answer: where do we stand on support for disks with a blocksize other than 512 bytes? I notice from looking at the OS code that the driver explicitly screens out drives with different (!512) blocksizes. The sd driver code looks pretty simple. are there other complications from just modifing the code as it's been done in the cd-rom driver? Thanks for the info, Robert Sexton.
