I'm not a data recovery professional, but AIUI the 60GB model should have 6 heads (as per the product manual).

IIUC, the firmware appears to undergo a process of head discovery during "recalStep 0005" of the POST.
Code:
RECAL
recalStep 0000
recalStep 0001
recalStep 0002
recalStep 0003
recalStep 0004
recalStep 000E
recalStep 0009
recalStep 0005 B2 --> physical head #0
recalStep 0005 D9 --> physical head #1
recalStep 0005 --> bad or missing head #2 ?
recalStep 0005 9B --> physical head #3
recalStep 0005 CD --> physical head #4
recalStep 0005 9B --> physical head #5
recalStep 0007
HdMap 3B --> 11 1011
Of course I could be completely wrong.
The only other difference that stands out to me is this additional line associated with logical head 0x01.

Maybe this is a red herring ???
