1158 bytes

My drive is currently configured to 512 bytes per sector, however,  
according to most posts out here, the way to go is 1024 bytes.  The drive  
I'm using does support SCSI MODE SENSE commands, so I believe it is  
compatable with the formmatter_1.2 on the net.

Now the question:  This would be a major hassle considering all the  
software installed on this drive (after all, I just got c-news up and  
running properly).  Would it be worth the effort to switch over?  Are  
there other benefits to this change that I'm not mentioning here?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
