PS: I did write a rough setup that recognizes ATA cards and starts the correct card driver. The Card Information is synthesized, read, and understood by the emulated NewtonOS. 

What's left is implementing the ATA protocol itself. And cleanup. 

I'll try to get one or two commands to work and push the resulting code to Einstein. Maybe someone likes to jump in at that point. If not, I may over time get to implement the rest. At least reading cards should be possible.
