remember CKD disks haven't been manufactured for decades, all being
simulated on industry standard FBA devices ... originally 512 byte fixed
block ... but industry moving to 4k byte fixed block.

In between are 4k FBA that simulate 512 byte.

where you might have CKD simulated on 512 byte FBA simulated
on 4096 byte FBA

gets even more complex when RAID is layered over the top.
