I am planning on swapping out a bad pcb on this drive. Does anyone know which chip holds the adaptives? There doesn't appear to be the usual 8 legged rom on this board however there is a larger 40 pin lsi that is stamped with what could be a firmware version. Is this it?

If you google the IC part numbers you should be able to figure out which is which.

Upload a photo and/or tell us the markings on the most likely suspects.
Sometimes the markings omit the leading character(s), and this can hamper a Google search.
