Using a 1024-byte-sector format is a waste of time. If you want disk space,
why not use cheap hard disks. Hard disks are least expensive storage media
now (1.2 giga bytes costs as little as US$2100! And you must have experienced
being asked to take charge of obsolete disks from your friends).

I actually have a driver for 1024-byte-sector MSDOS disks, but as it calls
ROM routines directly, I cannot post it to the public. I thought Adam could
have written the code blind-folded.
