Hello to all the community!

do any of you have the pinout to connect the COM/terminal to the TOSHIBA MQ 2,5" USB boards?

If yes, can you kindly share it?

The goal is to read the ROM through terminal on TOSHIBA USB boards

thank you

Cor

Have you soldered two pins in the first two holes of the row?

Thank you

I'm waiting a reply from the support

I succeeded reading the ROM

But in both Toshiba and USB utilities I can't find the one to write it.

Apparently there is only the read command :-(

Hello Spildit

In other words?

My idea is to avoid heating donor boards moving and removing chips.

So my point of reading the ROM is next to write it in the donor board.

Well.. if any ROM code compatibility checking is possible, the thing sounds as it could be possible to run a "loolks like smooth" process.

The idea is to do as with WD drives. There read from the USB and write into the SATA works straight with all the USB boards numbers/models (except one that makes me crazy, but that's anbother story)

Hello
No, my last sentence was referred to all WD USB boards.

This whole post is related to achieve the same as WD on Toshiba MQ USB

Does the idea of a compatible ROM make any sense for Toshiba drives? If the firmware is mostly contained within the ROM, and if the SA contains only drive specific stuff like SMART and G-list, then does it matter if the ROM firmware is a different version?

Hello

any update about read ROM through terminal on TOSHIBAs MQxxUxxx (USB)

then write the ROM on the corresponding SATA board?

Yes, to avoid heating the SATA donors boards

Thank you

PC3k can read it but not write, i guess MRT can read it too (could somebody confirm?), writing is possible using a terminal prog (on most families).

Alternative is reading ROM in circuit via clip and programmer. Have not physically moved a ROM on a hardrive for years :)
