Hello,

HDD ID:

SN WXP1E80Z9966

If you have PC3000, have you tried to read ROM by COM-port?
Or the PCB is 100% dead?

Adaptives are stored on ROM as well as ROM code so you do need original ROM and you can't just use ROM downloaded from the net unless you adapt some of the ROM modules by using some tricks ...

If you do want to avoid soldering use this method :

External programmer + SOIC 8 clip ...

Assuming of course your drive have external ROM chip ...
