Just for the record - I don't think Acorn disks can have sectors bigger than 1k. (I never managed to get the 640Mb MO discs working, I had to get the 512 byte sectored 512 Mb ones instead.) I just checked in the PRM and it agrees with my very rusty memory.
I have some acorn partitioned MO discs lying around if you want to see the first few sectors off the disc...
