You should mention your drive model when asking this... I expect this to be
a function of the drive model. Of the drive mechanics, actually. 

(Not that I'd know the answer for any of the models --- afaik, all official
documentation, at least by Commodore Inc., only mentioned 80 tracks and I
don't think there are any official thinks outside track 0..79...)
