You're on the right track.  The Disto RSDOS basic setup program tells the drive
to use 256-byte sectors, and the drive stores that info away.

The IBMs want 512-byte sectors.  Hmm.  I wonder if there's a Norton's utility
to set that up?  If I still had my SCSI docs (I forget who I loaned them to), I
could probably tell you how to modify the Disto setup program to put it back at
512.   But anyway, that's what the deal must be.
