this rom seems ok at first glance, what terminal output do you get?

If this drive came out of a surveillance system, perhaps it is firmware locked? (I don't see a PUIS flag in the IAP segment.)

If you can upload your donor ROM, I could transfer the patient's adaptives into it.

I presume that you have tested your patient ROM on the donor PCB and verified that the no-spin symptom moves with the ROM.

At first glance, I see that this rom version does not have too serious errors
