Generic controller board

April 11th, 2010, 19:05

Is there such a thing as a generic controller board,in which you can upload firmware ,so that the drive can be accessed again ?
This would make it easier to find a donor controller board to test stuff.
(I know some brands like WD do store SA information on chips on the controller board ,but some don't. And maybe there's a way to get this info from the broken board ,and transfer to this generic one ?)
Thanks in advance for sharing the info ...

No, there is no such a thing as universal board that will be able to fit different types of drives.

Would you put a Volvo engine into a Volkswagen and expect it will work ?
