so managed to get back to this (my apologies been busy - one has to earn a living as well ^_^ )
So the log I have (see attached ) I think looks like you are saying that it dropping to F> - I'm hoping thats a good position to be in?
This would indicate that I require the correct firmware ? And I have one of two option - move the old ROM chip or write the firmware via TTL
moving the chip is likely the simpler option but I would like to know the latter option as well? I take it TTL is via the terminal/Com port connection? having never done this before I'd prefer not do it on a customer drive first time though I do have plenty of practice drives... I did see an option to read or write ROM when I was connected via com port - I take it that this would be the function I would use tow rite the replacement firmware?
Sorry for all the questions - its just I don't normally use the more advanced options and generally use it for data recovery on drives that can't be seen any more or have a lower level issues that are easily over come in the data recovery option.
thnx for all the help - very much appreciated
