Yes, but we can't use any allready existing software for that, so
supporting existing sector read/write (expetially write) is not
nessessary.
I allready have messed up my HDD two times, because these routines are
supported. Real reason is ofcource proggrams, that are made badly, but if
those routines wouldn't be supported my HDD would have been saved.
So, Ok make new sector read/write, but keep it away from allready existing
routines... please :-)
