Hello,

Very weird thing happened to me.
A customer came with 2TB Charger with dead PCB, then I replaced the PCB without transferring ROM and the drive work.

4F is not unique with this family ?

Not that unique
And some FW revisions are compatible

Is that possible with Palmer, FBlite, FB and Spyglass too?
That was very weird when I hear the drive calibrate in my hand then I connect it via SATA and mount user partition. :)

Thanks for reply

Had a Spyglass that the customer ripped the PCB off because he didn't have the proper size tool. He broke the ROM in half, but it was not difficult to find one of our donor's that worked.

Hubble, and LT won't work, neither will Shrek and LT.
Probably BigBear won't either, but i haven't checked that.

i can recover though.
