The specification for the DriveWire 3 protocol can be downloaded from
the Cloud 9 web site.  It does appear to be restricted to 256 byte
sectors.  Sectors are addressed using 24 bit LSN's rather than track
and sector locations. The client could be written to use more than one
LSN to address larger sectors.
