The native block size of a CD is 75 frames, or 2352 bytes.  When used
as a CD-ROM, this strips down to 2048 bytes since the remainder is
used for ECC and sector addressing fields.

MOs have (hard) block sizes of 512, 1024, 2048 (or 4096?) bytes.

WORMs are obsolete.  I think they were 512 bytes, but i'm not sure.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
