I would be surprised if Linux did. MS-* certainly doesn't (anything
except NT doesn't support 1024 bytes/sector, where Linux has no
problem).

Most of those drives can be re-formatted (SCSI FORMAT UNIT command)
by changing the sector size just before through a MODE SELECT SCSI command.

I am a little surprised those still exist, though.
