How to Use 10-Sector Track Format On A USB Floppy Drive

I'm programming a floppy disk-extractor/manager for an old synthesizer/keyboard instrument (made in 1980's). My Problem: This software should support USB-Floppy drives. It needs to read and write images to a 10-sector track formats. But USB Floppy-drives only support 9 or 18 sector track. I wasn't able to find a way to control this with my software (it seems like it is hard-coded into the drives firmware).

Has anyone successfully done this before? I would appreciate any hints

If the track format isn't standard PC format then it wouldn't work anyway. You'll need to make a floppy controller of your own in order to read a differently formatted disk.
