Hello,
can't edit my last post (as stated in the board FAQ), so had do a new posting ..... sorry.
Please be aware that I'm a bloody beginner to hdd trouble shooting, but it's a very interesting topic, so I'm quite eager to expand my horizon.
Besides removing the rom and read it out in an external electronics environment there should also be a way to read/write it via serial connection, at least this is what some posts on the internet claim. The "HE" output shows lots of commands, but it very hard to find any good information on the commands and syntax on the internet.
Anyone knows which command (and syntax) is for reading / writing the rom?
The posting in
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26366 shows a list of commands
Quote:
LB: View BIRSLT (Harddrive info, serial number, firmware version, ....)
LD: View Zone Map
L4: View ?
LT: View Tlist
LS: View Slip List
LV: View Vlist
LM: View Mlist
LR: View Rlist
The LB command causes the "[DEBUG HALT @MDL_RSRC_BufferAlloc():10034A41 L0 10039689]" error, on a good HD103SJ disk it shows several lines of information like serial number etc.
All other "L" commands (with my bad disk) gives some output, so my hope is that not all of the rom is bad. If helpful, I can create a dump of all outputs "L" commands and upload it.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Regard,
Urmel
