Hallo Micha³, > even on the 1541, which has been hacked out to the last bit, I have never seen non-512 byte sectors being used. Because there was no really need for it. Using 512 bytes sectors would not gain any sectors AFAIK but more important, one would need to install a program on the drive that does handle that. And with only 2 KB of RAM..... But what is important for you: it is possible. The whole creation of a track is controlled by software. Period. So it should be possible to create 512 bytes sectors. But you have to dive into the software to see how it is done. Regarding formatting a disk, the software, that is executed by the 2nd 6502 (FDC controller), can be found in the ROM of the first 6502, the bus controller. The 1541 uses the same principal so you could start with studying that one first. Main advantage: everything in one ROM. Question: what drives did the C900 use?
