Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

It doesn't look like there is any type of external ROM, but does anyone know if the adaptive info for this drive is stored in the MCU? Just looking to swap PCBs here and I was just wanting to make sure that I'm not missing anything beforehand.
Thanks guys

To put a big red circle around it for the OP
Alternatively you can look for the chip (probably Winbond) with 8 legs and model starting with a 25!

Found it, it is a Winbond 8 leg chip near the lower end of the PCB. Thanks guys!
