That would mean adding the >necesary code to the worm driver. Speaking from the standpoint of a clueless hacker, I've done this and it's not that bad. Figure out how to make it probe as a worm drive, and if it uses the same commands as either the HP or the Plasmon, you're golden. If you've suddenly discovered a new drive that doesn't cooperate though, it becomes more difficult. (Also I guess I don't speak for the eide drives.)
