it means that you copied me!  32x means 4.8M/sec minimum speed.  now if
you are lucky like me and your drivers only do 1 bit mode (MMC legacy)
then its slow!  but if you can do 4 bit mode its much faster.  

The drivers that are open (I didnt clarify this earlier) are for non
SDIO non secure (ie use it like an mmc card, alledgly faster) the binary
only from sharp I believe does a lot more but not having a zaurus ...

SD has all sortsa NDA stuff if you want to do secure and I believe just
a fee if you want to get the specs for SDIO (not sure about that it may
also be NDA).

wouldnt a mount option be better, albiet slower, like -o sync ?  Does it
provide the same solution?  Does anyone know?
