Anyone,

Has anyone seen, ST 410800W Elite 9 Fast SCSI-2 Wide, (I have one) with
a block_length of "2068" bytes/sector and not the standard 512 byte block.

I need to re-something this puppy. SEAGATE denies the existance of a
2068 byte block size. I need a "quick and dirty/nasty" to allow this guy
to be mounted. Second, is there a suggested tool for rewriting this
block size and doing a hard low-level format.

Cheers,
Andre Hedrick
