Hello friends.
I have here a Palmer WD10SPZX that doesn't read ROM at all. MRT can ID it, and I even have User Sectors access, but it is very slow. When I try to Close SA access I get this:
Technology mode key : ..........................: OK
RAM:
Read HDD Info : ................................: OK
Heads number : .................................: 2
Head map : .....................................: 0
SA Cyl Count : .................................: 512
Serials Mark : .................................: 0xFE16
Control version : ..............................: 5460
Zone allocation table : ........................: OK
SA SPT : .......................................: 1944
ROM:
Read Rom Infos : ...............................: Err
ROM Modules:
Flash ROM dir reading : ........................: Err
Read 0A module : ...............................: Err
Load SA translator : ...........................: Err
SA Module Dir Loading...
Load SA Module dir : ...........................: Error, suggest to load from the file
Configuration reading : ........................: Err
Close SA access ...
Get SA access information : ....................: Failed
Don't know what I should try to solve slow responding problem.
Data is not important, only learning proposes.
Thank you for any help.

Firmware locked drive, you have to use Unlocked PCB
SlowResp solution wont work either, problem elsewhere.

i can probably circumvent the slow problem, but it can be several things, including weak heads. It needs to be properly diagnosed and yeah, won't work without an unlocked pcb.

Thank you guys for the replies.
I'll try to get one unlocked PCB later, since this is not a real case.
Thank you so much.
