Note that turning an Atmel-SD interface into a complete petSD only 
involves the IEEE connector.  No 4040/2031/etc HW required.

By doing so, you lose one of the most important features of SD cards.  
Fast transfer of files without any drivers.  petSD already understands

more can be added in hours)
