I am unaware of ANY public-domain hard disk drivers, but I believe
that both ICD and Supra have posted their complete software on the
pay services (Genie/CI$/Delphi).  The Atari-based software will only
permit 4 partitions per drive, while ICD & Supra use an "extended
format" partition table (in phys sector 0) which permits up to 8
partitions per drive.

I believe that Supra will sell just the software.
