Power-of-2, yes. sub-multiples of 512, not for sure. My brain was tickled by a vague memory, so I just dug out an ancient manual for the FD1791 (no date, but late '70s) It allowed for sectors of 128, 256, 512 or 1024. Don't know what the current crop of chips allow. I would suggest that in the future, a page-fault-sized sector might not be a bad idea (from an OS perspective). Although, the direction for file systems seems to be to 1k clusters. And it would be inefficient to have clusters smaller than sectors. Larger sectors also make for fewer inter-record-gaps, increasing a disk's capacity.
