Indeed. I've seen hard drives with sector sizes
all over the place.
256 bytes and 1024 bytes weren't unknown on SCSI devices .
I've got a 3?" SCSI floppy drive (yes, a floppy drive with a SCSI
interface!) that reports itself as having 256-byte blocks.
I don't know whether it works as a floppy drive; the OS support for
SCSI I have is broken enough on devices with non-512-byte sectors that
I'm not really in a position to try it out. I also don't really have
much else left that uses 3?" floppies....
