Maxtor D740X-6L - matching donor

The problem is NOT the head swap, it's what comes AFTER head swap due to HOW these drives work.

Now you can get why the recovery of these "retrocomputer" puppies IS interesting.

thank you All
i know this is difficult

[BlackST]

Did you try it for all this time ?

At least - if so - you have discovered the great world inside Quantum ....

[BlackST]

Wanna share the secret on how to do it ? After all it's an old drive...
Teach us, master, please !
How can we, mere mortals do a head swap on those old Maxtor drives and have them working at the end ?

In order to broadcast it ?
Wait "enough" (*) and then probably will be possible to get the answer from my neurons. At that time , after all, it should be a really phased out drive but should have a value for retrocomputing or to collect data from the past.




(*) meanwhile, scratching.... (Italians can explain)
