dlg,
It took me weeks and a few failed attempts with various disk
manufacturers, but it's done, and we have victory!
The value from the modified atactl output for reg 106: 4000
Finally it seems we have a disk that is properly showing us 4k sectors
rather than lying. I kind of guessed this disk might be correct
considering the performance drop in 512b benchmarks compared to 4k and
larger benchmarks.
I won't be home for a week, but if you can't find a Crucial C300
locally in .au, let me know and I'll deal with it.
