Any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking this loader too.

I'm afraid I don't have that one. Closest I've got is 0006001T.

Why not just use a close ROM + LDR to get SA access and then extract the LDR from the drive itself? That's what I usually do.

That is indeed what I ended up doing, but it took a few ROM's to find the right one.

Can you share the LDR now that you've extracted it?

Let me take a look.

I'm interested in this thing ... what steps need to make this operation? I have Wdmarvel and MRTpro ..

Thank you in advance.

I just managed to find details about this drive as my initial post was over 4 months ago. I tried 7 or 8 different ROM and Loader version and none would give SA access, which probably meant head issues. In the meantime the client decided not to go ahead with the recovery so we didn't pursue it any further. Sorry I couldn't help.

Transfer the adaptives from your native ROM to a donor ROM. Use the patched donor ROM and donor loader to gain SA access, etc ...

I'll look for it on Monday. I should have it.

Pretty much as Spildit already explained. Just be sure to backup the patient ROM. Then just pick out the closest resources you have for the family. Write the ROM from those resources to the PCB, then upload the matching LDR for it. You might have to block SA access in the borrowed ROM too, just to prevent it getting stuck busy if it tries to load any overlays (usually it won't anyway). Then upload dir from the HDD's own SA into RAM and copy out all modules. In some cases this may give you some issues, especially if the dir module is stored in a different location. You can change the dir location in ROM, or you might have to just read tracks and then do a search for modules in the saved tracks. Once you get the ldr from it's own SA, you can then program back the original ROM and use the newly extracted ldr.

There's also a trick I did once or twice where I just modified the version number stored in an LDR to make the PCB think it was compatible. Worked oddly enough.
