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 want to collaborate on F3 hotswaps procedures on newer gen drives like makara, rosewood, karnak, etc?
Previous families (grenada and before) are not so hard but these newer one present issues that my current methods dont work with (although, i have not spent much time on them at the moment)
I am not giving out info on how to do this but if someone whos understands the concepts already and wants to work together to perfect the technique on newer generation drives please message me.

These are diferrent families. Anyway, for making a swapper drive you need a signed loader (or oficial fw update). Any idea where to obtain one for Rosewood?
Unless you can patch hdd to make it eat non-signed loaders positive result is quite obscure.

I think you are making the problem harder than it is. These drives can be already be unlocked (ace or otherwise) so this is not the issue. Once unlocked you have access to SA and ram. Personally I never used a loader to accomplish a hotswap, just good old fashioned ram patches. There may be more than one way to skin a cat though.
