I'm guessing your using pirate Chinese PCI, right?

I think you'll struggle to unlock that drive with that :-(

I'd say unlikely. These shoddies are surprisingly unpopular here.

It was the "google manual" that got me thinking it was a knock-off PCI.

Apologies to OP if I'm mistaken.

As I remember, the old PCI required a "probe" to unlock hitachi drives (or was that just ATMR drives?), but my PCI has been gathering dust for some years :-)
