It's similar in the fact there's a bit less usable space for the actual data and some additional info, but the latter is very different and has different purpose.
The simple way to use SeqBox with Amiga OFS too would be to add a new block version with block size = 488. It works, and it's a 2 lines changed kind of modification, but I don't think it's really useful in general.

I think it's useful, specially if it's a matter of two lines of code. It could use 512 bytes sectors by default but have an option to set whatever you wants. Take in account that hard disks now use 4KB sectors, and also some filesystems like FAT or Ext2 group several sectors in a block, so this would lead for a faster scanning of data :-)

Yes, as you can see in the spec, there are already 3 versions (that differs only on the block size): 1 default, with 512 bytes; 2 with 128 bytes (mostly added just for testing the tools with different block size, but was common in some older system from the CP/M days); 3 for 4KB, for when you are sure you are dealing only with modern systems. All it takes to select one or the other in the tools is the -sv switch. The objection with a v4 with 488 bytes is mostly due to the fact that it would be useful just for one system, and just for floppies (probably no one use OFS with an HD). But I'll definitely think about using/reserving it - even just because I was a passionate Amiga user myself! :D

I have just learned something new, didn't know they were used 128 bytes sectors! :-P

Ok, seems it's an API problem then... Yeah, in that case I would not have used a version selection switch but instead allowed to set the size directly in bytes and/or with a size prefix (512, 128B, 4KB, 16MB... this last one for AWS and MongoDB ;-) ). ODF is specific enough to NOT add a new version just for it, but maybe a new alternative flag to set the size and open the door for other custom sizes would do the trick :-)

I haven't used an Amiga, but used 68k Macintoshes since I was a child instead :-)
