That's what I did. MS-DOS FDISK will create the partition, but then MS-DOS will hang on reboot, because kernel boot code doesn't know how to handle it via Int 13h. (ROM BIOS Int 13h reports 0 heads, making the disk appear with a size of 0 Mbyte.)

I second that in general, but not for the Transcend card and the OmniBook 800.
