However if your replacing a older SCSI to MFM bridge you need to
do 256bytes.
Note: scsi makes no assumption of sector size, that is a device thing
and tapes can be far larger (DLT 16K or larger).

Sirs,
I have some old systems (sun, SGI, commodore, etc) and some new systems
(PC, whatever). For all those systems I have few SCSI drivers. Should I
include on external SCSI boxes with CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs a switch for
changing the SCSI sector size or can I keep everything on 512 bytes which
seems to be the more common?
Personally, I add switches just in case. It is good insurance so that
you will never need to use it! :)
Following on from this I expect the usual discussion about 512 / 2048
byte blocks, the actual format of the CD / DVD and where the 2048<->
512 byte conversion is done.
