Just to check whether I am understanding correctly: 1 MB +/- 0.5 MB is
something in between 0.5 MB and 1.5 MB, right?

If so, I'd like to claim that 63 sectors is well outside that interval.

And it is misaligned, which imposes a significant performance penalty
on many of today's disks.

Is this really the intention?

Greetings
Marc
