I would like to issue an ATA Identity command to a CF card in a USB card
reader. I understand that card readers in general (and in this specific case)
are using USBSTOR.SYS which is a SCSI interface, so unless I were to make my
own driver and have support for that in the unit, I really can't do that.

What I can do is send SCSI commands down to the unit, but when I use SCSI
passthrough and ask for the identity, I get the identity of the card reader
and not the card.

Wondering if anyone in this group knows how to access to the card. I
understand its possibly vendor specific, but figured it worth a shot here.

No ways except the ones proprietary for this particular reader, and even
they are possibly nonexistent.
