I have posted diffs for the ST-Minix floppydriver to make it possible to
change the sector-size via ioctl. It works well and I use 1k sectors all
the time. My driver also supports the (illegal, unportable ... I know)
hack with connecting 10.24 Mhz to your FDC. You can then put 7 1k-sectors
on a track without any problems, also there are few people who can read it.
