I believe it's 528 bytes these days...  Depends on the vintage.

Subject: R: Re: Getting an ibm as/400

Well... AS/400 scsi drives are recognized by the string IBM AS/400, during the 
inquiry phase.
They can be used in a standard PC, if reformatted at 512 bytes/sector, since 
OS/400 use 520 bytes/sector.
If they come unformatted or degaussed, you can reformat it at 520 under a *nix 
system with sg_utils (e.g. Linux) and used (I tried it successfully on 
different AS/400 systems).
