Hi,
Long story short.
Customer had this drive not working. Sent the PCB to repair but PCB got lost in the mail.
Now he comes to me with this drive, without native PCB. After trying a few models I found one working with external ROM.

I realized after a while that the heads was faulty, so I replaced them and got the drive running.
I have full SA access and can read everything.
- The UA can only be read using the utility -> Software LBA to CHS conversion.
- The drive can not start without safe mode and loader, just stays BSY

Now to the issue. It seems that the drive is not reading the data from the heads in correct order.
I cant find any partitions and the first sector is blanc, then comes INDX content right after.

What can be the cause of this? Any advice?

Thanks!
