I have some old Fujitsu M2263SA drives from a Tandon Unix machine. They
were configured to 514 bytes/sector. I used an old DOS modepage editor
from DEC to reconfigure the drives to 512 bytes/sector and after a low
level format they were (obviously) usable like any other drive. 
I am sure the IBM drives can be reconfigured to. I have some old IBM
066X drives and the OEM-manuals. The sectorsize of these drives is
configurable from 256 to 744 bytes/sector.
