Does anyone out there know of a SCSI controller (embedded or bridge)
which would allow me to format a drive with 576 (yes, that's 576) byte
blocks?  Adaptec perhaps?

Most controllers I've found only handle the "normal" powers-of-2 (512,
1204, etc.), or the documentation isn't specific.  The Tech. Support
people at various manufacurers don't seem to be able to deal with
questions like this.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
