I am interested in some of the new optical (both WORM and read-write) disk drives available. However, many seem to use sector sizes larger than 512bytes, often 1024 or 2048. Can someone please give me an assessment or estimate of what is involved and the drawbacks of hacking a 4.3BSD or Sun OS disk driver to use 1K or 2K sector sizes, rather than the assumed 512byte sector sizes. Please email responses. Thanks. Cheers, Dan Ts'o 212-570-7671 Dept.
