Oh... sorry... yes... you said "SCSI drives" and I didn't pick up
"tape
drives" from that.

You are probably speaking of SCSI disks. I talk about streamers. Correct. I cant remember ever having seen SCSI
drives with block sizes
different from 512 bytes.
I have some 4GB drives that were once 524 bytes-per-block. A couple of
hours with an AHA1542 and its low-level formatting firmware fixed that!
