Josh & Wolfgang, I appreciate your replies - thank you. 

FYI, we have decided to investigate writing a simple block device driver
for this device to get our development back on track with an eventual
goal of upgrading the kernel when time and resources permit. 

MTD is not crucial to our project, it just made a previous task easier
and this current one harder! :)

Thanks again,
