It's perfectly possible; it's done with the Catweasel routinely.  I 
don't know what the resolution of the Supercard is, but it should be at 
least equivalent to the 40MHz of the old Catweasel MK 3, wouldn't you think?

Take a look at the Linux Catweasel drivers if you want a hint.  The 
source is still out there.
