The thing that got me wondering though - surely in the

drives all use something like 2048-byte blocks? They're still mass storage
devices - albeit removeable ones - and so presumably the low level code *has*
to be capable of working with "odd" block sizes.
Indeed--and add to that many of the MO drives--some use 1024 and some
2048 byte sectors. I can't imagine that any raw interface that has
to deal with these devices will be intolerant of disks with other
than 512 byte sectors.
