Please add a space between "actual" and ")". I'd maybe also rather say "actual-bytes" so that nobody expects "actual-sectors" here.

Could we please avoid duplicating code here? "read-sector" could now simply be implemented via read-sector-ret instead:

\ read sector to array "block" and return actual bytes read
: read-sector-ret ( sector-number -- actual-bytes )
    \ block-size is 0x200 on disks, 0x800 on cdrom drives
    block-size * 0 seek drop    \ seek to sector

So how does the patch look ? Any comments from anyone ?

Sorry, your original patch somehow didn't make it to my Inbox (though it's visible on http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/slof/list/ so the problem is certainly on my receiving side), so I just learnt about this patch today.

Anyway, apart from the code duplication, it looks fine to me, so if you could fix that in a v2, that would be great!
