SDHC is defined in version 2.0 of the Secure Digital specification,
which did not exist when this card reader was made. From what I have
read, the main difference aside from additional space is a change in the
format of the Card-Specific Data register. Newer SD Card readers have no
problem handling both formats and I expect that it is possible to modify
older SD Card Readers to support it.
I am not familiar with the subsystem involved, so I need some pointers
before I can start looking at it.
