1 - Read original ROM on your drive PCB using a programmer / TTL / Firmware tool with USB pass-trough, etc and copy that ROM to a fully compatible SATA PCB. As alternative you can move the ROM chip.
2 - Apply the SATA PCB to the drive and see if you can gain access to the firmware with something like WDMarvel. If the drive is NOT SED locked and you can gain access to the firmware apply the slow fix MANUALY using this method : -http://www.hddoracle.com/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=848&start=60#p9874
3 - Return original PCB to the drive and if necessary move back the ROM chip.
4 - Clone the drive using HDDSuperClone by USB if ypou don't have some sort of DDI4 USB add-on to plug the USB PCB (that you do need to decrypt the data) to the DDI.
Of course if you do have a PC-3000 it will decrypt on the fly even if you clone using the SATA PCB ...

If you do have WDMarvel for example you can try the USB-ATA pass-trough and attempt to read modules over USB. This will noty work if the drive is SED locked. If you have DFL tool you can do the same :

It looks like DFL pass-trough (usb - ata) works better than WDMarvel.
Alternatives :
- Solder wires to a SATA connector / use that adaptor and work over SATA.
- Buy a compatible SATA PCB - http://www.hddoracle.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1080 copy ROM from original to donor PCB and you will be able to work by SATA. Then when you patch the firmware return the original PCB to use USB bridge to decrypt the data. If you can't copy ROM you can move ROM chip.
Other alternatives are with the SATA conversion/adaptation or compatible PCB to image the drive and later decrypt with something like reallymine.
