There has been a lot of discussion on hard disk sector size
modification.  Most of it has been for the AT&T machines.  Is there
a tried-and-true method for doing it on an IBM machine?  Would the
method be the same?  I am using an IBM XT with the stock 10 MB
disk.  I replace the stock controller board when it gave out.  I
now use a Datatech board.

Would the method be specific to the machine, DOS, disk, or
controller board?

I found no option to do this in the XT's Advanced Diagnostics disk.
