Well one solution that may not really be acceptable is that there are 540MB
media available for that drive with 512 byte sectors rather than the 2048.
The 230 MB media are only available with 512 byte sectors. Since the MO
media use a form of hard sectoring, you cannot really reformat with a
different sector size as you can with fully magnetic media.
