Anybody knows alternative tools to read/write SA modules on WD drives besides MRT/PC3K/WDmarvel? Drive itself is an wd3200budt.

Thank you! It seems to work, although I don't see any option to dump module 02 that's for the scorpio family (at least I think this drive is from scorpio and not royl).
Reading smart leaves me with

Code:

Command failed!
sense key=0xb asx=0x0 ascq=0x0
error=0x4 count=0x1 lba=0xc24fb4 device 0xa0 status=0x51 altstatus=0x0
command_status= 0x0
data_transferred= 0x200

Reading module 02 from the royl family command leaves me with the same error.
Any ideas?
