Yes. Use a disk manager. It will install a tiny overlay before the OS

Actually, it looks like, through kernel 2.5.<mumble>, Linux explicitly detected and worked with both OnTrack and EasyDrive. Since that version, it has a tunable offset parameter that can be set appropriately for either one by the user (63 sectors for OnTrack, 1 for EasyDrive). All other avenues seem to have failed, so I may well be going that route next.
