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

Anyone have a pic or know which pin to short to bypass SA reading and become ready? I assume this is possible like the older WDs.....

How do you propose the drive should get ready if it does not read the SA?

I presume the OP refers to shorting the read channel, a process that used to be used to get the WD electronics to report on readiness which was a useful method of repair in certain circumstances. Can the OP confirm?

Correct. That is precisely what I am trying to do.
