I just checked a memory card block device driver into the CVS.
It cannot unlock the cards, so these are threated like fixed disks 
(i.e. they must be present a boot so PSO unlocks them).
I haven't done extensive testing, but I was actually able to copy a
standard Nintendo 59 memory card to a blank card like this:

	mknod /tmp/card0 b 254 0
	mknod /tmp/card1 b 254 1
	dd if=/tmp/card0 of=/tmp/card1

where 254 is the major device number assigned to the driver. Check
/proc/devices, there should be a line like this:

254 memcard

Feel free to test it, but please don't use a memory card with important
data on it.
