2.88 might be pushing the ability of a 72MHz processor. Also things like buffer size
become an issue. For the Gotek, it is somewhat limited. One of the newer processors like
the STM32F407, it might be possible. The Gotek uses an older generation processor that has
limited resources. Also, the way the code is currently written, hard sectored is hard to
do. Different encodings are not a big an issue as it uses transition timing and
doesn't care how the data looks.

There are many more forgotten floppy formats than
most realize--for
example, the Drivetec/Kodak 5.25" 2.8MB and 6MB formats.
Wow.
I had no idea that there was a 5?" disk that held more than 1.2 MB.
So much history that I'm sure is being lost to time.
