I've tried to find some reliable infos on this topic and
ended up with looking to other published code. They all
seem to expect a partition table.

During testing it took seconds for me to corrupt the
file system on the card. So I reformatted on Win2k
and WinCe (requiring an external tool, btw. PPCs
can't do what every 50 bucks camera can do). All
format variations created a partition table.

Anyway, I agree that cards without partition table
should be supported. I'll look into it.

Oops, that reminds me of the email from Kroum Vassilev,
who reported the same and provided this and possibly
more fixes regarding HTTP using PHAT.
