#### persistent storage
`load-sector` synchronously reads a single _sector_ from a _disk_ of persistent
storage. The disk must follow the ATA specification with a 28-bit sector
address. Each sector is 512 bytes. Therefore, Mu currently supports ATA hard
disks of up to 128GB capacity.
`read-ata-disk` synchronously reads a whole number of _sectors_ from a _disk_
of persistent storage. The disk must follow the ATA specification with a
28-bit sector address. Each sector is 512 bytes. Therefore, Mu currently
supports ATA hard disks of up to 128GB capacity.
Similarly, `store-sector` synchronously writes a single sector to disk.
Similarly, `write-ata-disk` synchronously writes a whole number of sectors to
disk.
Mu doesn't currently support asynchronous transfers to or from a disk.
