Has anybody tested if "unrecognizable" CF cards get recognized when partitioned?

Quite a number of embedded devices can use a "small" partition on a big card, even if not able to use the complete card. (I assume that only the first partition would be useable without changing the mount-scripts, but I don't know for sure).

This could also be true for SD/MMC-Cards, but I have absolutely no idea wether they can be partitioned as well. I think I remember that no, but it's been quite a while.
