It's little endian (:-(), so it means 2*256+0=512, which is right ! This
16 bit quantity is declared this way to avoid automatic structure
alignment by the compiler which would skip one byte. There are other ways
to force the compiler to pack structures, however accessing it as
sector_size[0]+(sector_size[1]<<8) is guaranteed to be portable, endian
independant, and to avoid alignment traps on RISC machines.

Same !
