Hi!

I need LDR and FW for a DiamondMax Plus 9....

6Y160M0
YAR511W0
K,M,B,D

I have YAR51HW0, but it's a slightly different drive, the Max LBA on this one is different (higher)

Many thanks

Actually don't worry, I've sorted it out.

Swapped the PATA board from a 120Gb from same family, to enter Safe Mode.

Used the LDR made from the YAR51HW0 160Gb, and fixed the dodgy FW module in YAR511W0.

Put the SATA board back on, and Voila... DATA!

Thanks anyway
