If the limit is the sector addressing on the deviice then cant you just use
a disc which has 1024 bytes per sector ? I have a vague recollection that
almost all SCSI discs were formatted this way once upon a time (though the
most recent ones I;ve bought have all been 512 I admit - maybe they are
aimed at the PC market these days ?)
