have to go back to something much older, like a 2.2 or 2.4 kernel and

don't have that yet.
256-byte sectors and Linux don't seem to like each other. I think
that Linux likes to buffer 512-byte sectors and gets confused when
presented with something else.
However, I think that sg_dd might at least read and write in raw
form, to and from your drives:

The alternative might be to hack an existing driver to transfer two
sectors when one is requested.
