And what do you expect to accomplish with that?

Write the ROM to another chip. The original chip is damaged. So recover the HDD data

Unfortunately that's isn't going to happen, all the ROM's are 100% unique to each and every drive.

Hello everyone!
Have somebody a method for regenerating Toshiba, Hitachi, or Seagate ROM contents?

Toshiba - never going to happen, the entire contents of the drive specific calibration is stored in ROM
Hitachi - PC-3000 can sometimes regenerate the NVRAM by brute force which is all you really need to regenerate
Seagate - I know one guy who claims to be able to do it, he charges a small fortune.

being the only one isn't it understandable? :)
Joke apart, it took lot of research and sw development, so it can't be done for a pint of beer...
btw, i can currently recover rom up to pharaoh, and some fw branches of grenada, and older models of 2.5" drives (perhaps newer too, i need to check when an actual request is made). There are some factors that influence the process. Research is still in progress for newer drives...
