Not if you implement a _command_ buffer, where command indicates some
sort of subroutine and a set of data to be used, etc.  You could
implement the code on a pic to store an entire nibbilzed sector or
track -- and feed this hypothetical device sector/track coordinates
followed by the raw nib. data.

This would only be useful for reading/writing whole disks, for obvious
reasons.
