The real problem is not the sector count, but the fact compact flash & microdrives doesn't have a built-in buffer .

Notice that real HD doesn't suffer from this issue, from the old IDE to SCSI drives.

So anything over 255 will choke in the Amiga IDE bus (read "Gayle"), who will still try to put more data than the slow IDE channel can really cope.
