SP2514N Samsung 3.5 PATA
July 2nd, 2010, 13:11
Heya all. Got the drive that wont spin up. Trying to do a simple ROM copy in PC3k yet i cant. Always comes back with error in chksum. Found a working SATA drive , a Poseidon as well , and as a test tried to get the ROM while PCB only is connected (safe mode ) - failed as well at checksum. Copying in normal mode with PCB attached - got the ROM no problem. So my question is , how does one get the ROM on those drives in safe mode ? Am i missing something ? Ty.

Hi,
Set three jumpers (Master, Slave, CS), like in WDC HDDs
PS You must set the Cable Select jumper on the PC-3k PCI board (for UDMA enable Cable Select in the utility)

Ty sir. Will give it a shot now.
erm if i set the 3 jumpers then how will i connect terminal. I thought rom read was through terminal only.
Edit Did what u said. Entered safe mode via jumpers , set cable select , cycled power , removed the jumpers leaving master only and set terminal in. Entered debug mode and got the rom. Ty again.

ROM can be read also thru the ATA interface and without setting anything into any safe mode , and can also be written 
There's a great world inside the big M

Are you sure what you wrote here...?
How you need to get drd dsc without a jumpers...?
Are you sure that in the ROM in this drive is a command to read ROM by the ATA...?

BlackST can you respond to even one of my questions...?
How you need to get drd dsc without use a jumpers...?
(How you need to tell the drive what to do, if drive is in busy state)

Hello All!
Anyone knows the pin-out for Serial port connection to this drive?
Need a "Service Mode" erase and can't do it without entering serial (already did this on Seagate as there are lots of posts about their PATA and SATA serial port pin-outs but none for Samsung).
PM please in case of such knowledge.
Have a good day!
