Fortunately, there are VERY few disk formats that use

This is one that Don Maslin and I worked through, checking out a
number of controllers until we hit the NS DP8473. It must have been
designed by an intern, because it pretty much stands apart from the
crowd of 765 clones in that it knows what to do with 128 byte MFM
sectors.
I haven't tried to use one to format and read sectors smaller than
128 bytes, however. It might be interesting to see what happens.
