Lost DOC2000 after trying to load grub

[Vadim Khmelnitsky]

How feasible would it be to port the M-Systems DFORMAT utility to work 
under Linux through the MTD driver?

If you guys have a hooks for physical access operations like read physical
page, write physical page and erase unit it should not be a problem .
