Have you ever used HRT ? WDR is a ripped off of HRT and TREX (HRT user interface) but works with ROYL / Marvell (instead of old drives). Same as for SRT (Seagate) MRT (Maxtor) .... You get the picture.

If you can figure out what PC-3000 "fix" is doing, maybe you can do that by hand (editing module, etc ...).

Don't guive up just yet.
Just think about what can cause the problem and what can be done to fix it.
If it's modules related then it's something that was correctly written as i'm assuming all modules crc are ok except for the one you requested.
You replaced pcb but the Rom is the same, if it's a Rom/adaptive problem then the problem was passed on to the new pcb too...
just trying to guess what that option in pc3k might be.

I have been using PC-3000 since back to the IDE days. so I have had no use to try other things that will try and do the same thing as it.

But the solve slow fix may not even fix the issue. Just that if it is acting slow, and the modules are good, and the head test shows good, it may be a good first try.

Good Luck

Module 24 was damaged and i repaired it with smart reset, now the only damaged module is 6F, but einstein9 wrote this:

Code:
you don`t need it at all
in fact even NEW DRIVES comes with bad 6F


Also pcb is ok, because i've changed with a good one and did rom transfer, still slow.
WDR report that heads are good, so it may be the slow issue as you said...

E' possibile chiedere supporto a chi ha fatto il software ?

Why not ask support from the maker of the software ?

107 is ROM mod image. Not related to slow responding issue.
Other mods gets affected by this issue.
It's related to bad blocks.

I think that you shouldn't mess with it for now and should try to focus on the slow issue.
That module is a ROM module, not a module stored on platter.
