afaik that is not an option. The drive has 2048byte physical sectors;
until Fujitsu built that drive the largest sector size was 1024bytes
which is why the 2.0.x kernels required patching to use the drive.
The drive uses 512byte sectors when mounting the backward-compatible
230MB disks.
Unfortunately, most of the references to the drive in the context of
Linux are in Japanese (from an Altavista search) so I haven't been able
to find an answer yet...
