Hi. Ive got MAXtor Diamond max 9 160Gb 6Y160P0 042211 S/N Y427C3NE, Detected as calypso. Also downloaded LDR , RAM and RPMs for the same model Firmware YAR41VW0 (mine YAR41BWO). I dont know how to load these files to mine HDD , and should I even try if the firmwares are not the same?? Thanks in advance for help

Hi!

I wold in any case!!
The HDD is damaged, so you have nothing to loose!
And a second thing: I have changed PCB on a DiamonMax Plus 9 (PCB from 80 GB to 120 GB version). Thy had different Versions too (and not only!!!), and the disk works fine (now even for some months in my server!)

Where did you get the ROM ? (I need one, you know! (But for an other disk ))

http://www.maxtor-hdd.narod.ru - here is some stuff for maxtors. Please , could you give me some clue how to load these files into my damaged disk ?? Links, Pages, FAQ's, anything Thanks

To uplad the firmware, ram, etc you have to have a speciall board called PC3000. it coast 1000 usd

Best wishes

Hi!

I've found a board emulator for PC3000, you can attach the HDD on one of the IDE chanels and work with it (at least they say you can), don't get me wrong, I'm of the opignon that if you need a software, you should buy it, but for one single disk, I belive, it might also be okay to use the emulator! I have not tested this, but it might help. Does anybody know if the emulator works ?

For the emulator: just seek for pc3000 in e-mule, or stuff like this, or try http://www.astalavista.box.sk .
And thanks for the link! I'll check it out, maybe there is somthing for my HDD to.

Unfortunately not, I've searched the site, but negative.

Has anybody got a loader and Memory Image for a 4G120J6 ?
Would be very nice! Thanks!

Someone here knows or have any ideia of what I can do or in what place I can find some money to pay my bills ?
Because éverytime that I come here I start to feel that this hard disks business is not gonna for long, so I need to find another way to get some money - you know I`m to dam old and lazy to learn a new thing to do.
Maybe I can try help://astalaputamadre.something to help me

It's going to get bigger and better for those who know.

It's going to get more frustrating for those who don't know -
they will come and go and those with the experience are now
not sharing anything - why should they ??

Who pays their neighbours bills ??? not my neighbours

Anyway succes to those who know and success to those who
are prepared to pay (in sweat or in dollars) to know

Srange, very strange..... maybe I can say wear ?
I think that my 3 decades almost 4 in Computers business, is nothing... really.
Bigger and better.... like in ?
Bigger... the computer market has a number that is not compatible with the number of the jobs that apears, anyway ........
The Internet has now all answers, this is what everybody is saying......
Everyday has a new end user here and in others boards, all them asking for free help .....
Maybe I have no ideia of what is this business..... who knows ? I don't know....
Many questions, I'm doing progress... people is looking for answers... and I still look for the fu... questions.
Yeah maybe i have no clue.....
Yeah you are right, maybe I do not know nothing.... including why I'm writting this.....
I saw, reading the msgs that you are so right, you have so many answers... the only thing is that I do not rember where was you - let me see - in 2002 ?
I do not need to say 1996 ? or I'm wrong ?....
You are the guy that like to say to people to do coments ?, so like this maybe this board can get some improovement ?
Yeah...., after this I think that I really need something to do...
End of vacations , I'm going to do something to do not have so many time to come here and to write so many sily things.
Bye

Don't be so down on yourself. You guys are a rare specie
