I have DT01ACA050 with PH0 and all donor I found so is PH1
Just wondering, If I just use a donor's head and flip the platter, Will it Work?? :roll: :idea: :!: :?:

The data would be moving in the opposite direction when the platter is flipped.

You're joking of course. :lol: The bits would be streaming in reverse so nothing would be read. He needs to modify the PCB so the motor spins in the reverse direction, and put the headstack in upside down do the heads fly properly. Hahaha. :lol: :lol: :lol:
