"hands of developers" meaning you specifically?  :)

I've had a 512b-logical/1K-physical ATA test drive for a few months now, 
and another couple arrived today.

Hopefully people can parse what I've been posting, since I cannot give 
out raw numbers or data at this time.

Of course, with RMW drives that leave the 512-b logical interface 
untouched, I had expected that they would Just Work(tm) and that is 
pretty much what happened.
