Hi,


Whereabouts is the physical sector size of a device with long physical sectors defined? I note that long logical sectors or multiple physical sectors per logical sector are defined in the IDENTIFY DEVICE block. However, I see no such mention of the physical sector size.

Could anyone enlighten me? Or is this an omission from the specification?


Also, does anyone know of a drive which uses the long logical sectors feature set? I would like to check compatibility of my driver and its disc formatter against such a drive, but I cannot find one. People have mentioned SCSI drives which use these - have any of you drive engineers out there built one which is publically available???


Best wishes,

Drew
