Yes, it shouldn't be too much code at all.

The hardest part will be copying the files off the "first" media, and
then continuing with the "second" media.

I don't think it's worth doing this with HAL, we're trying to rip out
support for HAL, not add support for it. Additionally, DeviceKit-disks
should be much easier to use.

Anyway, great news you're going to be working on this.
