I'm assuming you use the standard file open/close/etc. calls, with a special file descriptor for memory cards(?) The controller reading procedure I figured out straight out from reading sample code, it's pretty straightforward, but I haven't found anything similar for the memory cards. Does anyone know of any sources? Thanks.
