`load-sector` synchronously reads a single _sector_ from a _disk_ of persistent `read-ata-disk` synchronously reads a whole number of _sectors_ from a _disk_
storage. The disk must follow the ATA specification with a 28-bit sector of persistent storage. The disk must follow the ATA specification with a

Similarly, `store-sector` synchronously writes a single sector to disk. Similarly, `write-ata-disk` synchronously writes a whole number of sectors to
