So I've been working on finding ways to quickly read preamp out from many different Seagate ROM codes. It's been a little project of mine. For families such as Grenada and Bacall as well as many others, I can now identify the preamp in just a few seconds with no need to do all the steps of modifying heatmap in PC-3000, running comparison, etc.
So if anyone needs help figuring out a preamp, just post the ROM code on this thread of my forum:
https://www.data-medics.com/forum/seaga ... t2159.htmlPlease don't post the ROMs here as I may not always monitor this thread, especially after it gets pushed way down in the HDDGuru archives. But on my forum it's a Sticky topic and I'll continue to monitor it.
For now, I'll identify it as a favor to anyone who asks. At least while I'm still refining my technique.
