I think modules by any tool will do, but preferably in .rpm format for pc3k.

No problem, at least you tried to help and thanks for that.
There are a lot of unreadable, but non-critical modules, even data is accessible.
SMART modules were truncated, so I filled the missing space by zeros and wrote them back. Now firmware check shows that they are readable and have correct checksum. Nevertheless SMART cannot be read nor cleared.
I have here an lct10 that was bought for the pcb. Unfortunately most of the top cover screws and all of the warranty stickers have been removed, so firmware is considered as gone for good.

Maybe some good soul reading this request will save me (and the drive).

Thanks vx1, I will try it later, but this upload seems very close to my drive (firmware version matches). Still don't know, why SMART doesn't work.
Thanks for the warning Spildit. I shan't use ROM, I think it is OK.
