Just FYI, "1023" and "1043" are YYWW (Year / Week) date codes. The "25" markings are the important ones.

Both chips are 2Mbit flash memories.

No it's not.

See this, in yet another thread you have created for the same drive...

rom-firmware-version-01a01-t24475.html

That was version 16000M he sent you.

The version number appears to be in MOD 4F near the end of the ROM.

Code:
