No, I mean if I go and buy memstick PRO HG, that has > 512 bytes/sector,
will it work with current code?

Btw, there is currently no way of telling core about maximum transfer
length.
Here absolute maximum is 1024 (number of bit that _might_ hold TPC
length), and FIFO size is 512 bytes (maybe its possible to use fifo
twice)
