How can this be so easy but talking to an SD card is an impossible task without implementing a billion vendor/type quirks.

ATA was implemented by engineers and then described in a spec.

SD was designed by committee and then implemented as best they could.

Ooh the hours lost trying to reverse the proper call sequence and frequency for my SD card, thanks for the reminder.
