Thanks, but it's incomplete.

Modules are missing, Loaders (Boot.com, boot.ram) are missing as well.

For dealing Maxtor Drive, I've SD Doctor also MRT (MRT could be buggy, I found a Loader but it's not working, most of the functions of MRT Maxtor looks like dead)

It has been several years I worked with Maxtor HDD, yes, in SD Doctor, the loader is Boot.cod and boot.ram...

@spildit, fzabkar shared the resouces from SD Doctor! and things are missing as stated!

By SD Doctor, things are like the following picture

Spildit wrote:On HRT 3.0 and 5.0 MAXTOR "Loader" it's just the totality of CPs that you send to the drive. There are modules and CPs. CPs can be loaded in reverse as well or you can select what to load.

The "1.GRP" and "7.GRP" files in my first resource consist of CP0 to CP22. I can extract them for you if necessary. (The 2 GRP files are identical, BTW)

@jackass, its not helpful yet until I get loader or boot.cod and. ram
I found some fw in hddsurgery site, but didn't work with mrt. as said, seems the mrt is bugy, and thee hdd with SATA interface by the way

@fzabkar, you can share whatever you have, can try at least

and it would be great if its possible to extract /convert into boot.cod and. ram

The loader I found in hddsurgery in pc3k format, in mrt it can be used as I see it has the function. but it fails, the reason can be either the loader is not compatible or mrt is buggy.
in sd, it gets grp as well which are in total 9 what I can remember. the cp you are referring I see it 22pcs of files. if grp contains the boot n ram. so which numbers? so that can be converted straight by just renaming the extension (not sure. if its gonna work or not)

Could we see an example of each loader?

Thanks, hopefully things can be helpful. Will try with SD Doctor tomorrow and update you here

It looks like the HRT loader prefixes each CP with its size in bytes, plus some minor header stuff. It should be easy to convert between one tool and another.

The BOOT_nnnn.COD file appears to have the following format (YAR51HW0 example):

Code:
00000 - 001FF  header
00200 - 201FF  CP0x00
20200 - 203FF  CP list (IDs and sizes)
20400 - 243FF  CP0x03
24400 - 283FF  CP0x04
.....
90400 - 943FF  CP0x1F

The "nnnn" characters in the filename correspond to the checksum word at the end of CP00. Each CP also contains this word at byte offset 0x04.

header:

Code:
Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^
                                  size of CP00 = 0x20000

........
000001F0  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

CP list:

00020200  01 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00
             ^^                   ^^^^^
             CP ID                size in bytes = 0x4000

00020210  01 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00
00020220  01 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00

end of CP00:

Attached is a PC3000 loader for the YAR511W0/6Y080M0 drive.

One loader contains CP3 - CP1F, the other includes CPs 3-22.
