similar to the scsi interface would be a better abstraction
for the software inteface, I would think, since there are scsi stacks
that can target devices available on most platforms.
IDE could be supported for drives with 512 byte sectors as well, since
its format is so close to scsi.

How would you define the size and format of the sector being written? * The API (libdiscferret) is basically complete;
the Trivial API needs
finalising and implementing, but that's about it.
For users who program at a slightly "higher" software level, it would be
VERY nice to have a supplemental "mid-level" API that provides the
functions of INT13h, starting with function 2 "read sector(s)"
