Sure, I still have some of these for my 8-bit Atari.  But I was talking
specifically about disks used by DOS, in particular v3.3 and later.  I
think DOS disks were 360K when I first started seeing them, though I don't
recall what their sector size was.

In any case, if you do have a DOS-formatted disk with 128- or 256-byte
sectors, could you dump the boot sector so we can look at the BPB structure?
