Hi


Just a quick question: did anyone ever come up a BIOS firmware that supports
sector sizes higher than 512 bytes (say 4096 bytes)?

Sure. Any BIOS able to read CD supports 2K sectors.

If you mean HDD then I have never seen one. I wrote support for non-512B sectors in GRUB but so far it's untested as I couldn't find such a BIOS
