How do you control the number of bytes per sector?  Is it advisable to
have a large or a small number?  When I formatted my 171-307, it didn't
ask me anything except for the interleave. (zero).   If there's some
way to increase the capacity of my 307 from 285 to 307, without causing
other problems, I'd sure like to do it.  I'm using an Adaptec 1542b
controller if that matters.

Thanks,
bill
