I believe you test the gullibility of everyone whom has ever dealt with embedded systems, BIOS, CMOS, video games, robotics, printer drivers, graphics controllers, postscript interpreters, or any other ROM based application.
If I am reading this correctly, you are stating;
" Doesnt take much ??? - crack the case of one of those drives - place one of those chips onto a board, or Flash a Wyse Eprom/FlashROM - write the code to use that for the hard drive "
With the exception of "exposing the drive", You need not concern yourself with being associated with the term 'pragmatic'... but you may want to watch out for irrational, ill conceived, unrealistic, and unfeasible.
Not sure which 'Mission Impossible' episode you are watching, but assuming you had the coding prowess, knew the device package;
( DIP, SDIP, PDIP, LCC, PLCC, QFP, TQFP, PQFP, VQFP, SOIC, SOP, PSOP,SON, TSOP, TSOP2, STSOP, TSSOP, SSOP, BGA, uBGA, etc...),
had the programmer that supported; (NAND FLASH, EPROM, EEPROM, FLASH memory, GAL, PEEL, EPLD, CPLD, FPGA, Serial PROM, Parallel PROM, CMOS PROM, Microcontrollers, etc...), could attain the correct Adapter and Emulator,
why not just consider Real Time In-circuit Emulation, IC reprogramming, or ??? ... nevermind, I don't want you to hurt yourself with technical aspects that deal in reality...especially when this was actually a political overtone with politi-jahari undertones. ROFL...URKill'n me...
