Hi all

@dustyhair I still haven't decided if.. to make that packer version public.

@Spildit I'm working these days (in my free time) at my tool. I'm coding the server side scripts to handle an online database with wd firmwares. Off-course, that must be populated in time by the users of my application. Do u have an idea of how many wd models exist? If I store 3 firmware versions for each model I could estimate the disk space required on server side.


le:ok, found something here. about 1500models. x3 x7MB (medium firmware size) =~ 30-35GB online space needed

Hello all, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I have a question :)
How to download from this page: http://www.smarthdd.com/rus/database/We ... igital.htm Files!?
I ask because there is a firmware for my drive(WD15EADS - 22p8b0). Best regards.

that page doesn't hold any firmware files. it's just a list of wd models made by a software which doesn't serve for firmware repair.

@louis
Would you be willing to share the specifics of the ReadMemory VSC command (or at least where you found it)? I'd like to do some analysis of my own without having to hookup JTAG.
