And thusly were the wise words spake by Jim Leonard
If I were to implement some additional-storage format, I'd probably put
more/larger sectors on the outer tracks where there is more surface
area. I believe Mac and Amiga formats did this, although I'm not aware
of the particulars.
Commodore's GCR format for its 8-bit computers also does this with
the most sectors on the first 17 tracks, then two less for the next
seven tracks then one less for next six tracks and again one less
for the last five tracks.
Cheers,
Bryan
