Hello, I get an error when I read the ROM with PC3K terminal.

When I import adaptive from donor rom, SAP gives an error again.

I tried to fix it with F3 Rom explorer but it fails.

I change the Head Map via ROM with PC3K, but it doesn't work.

Help would be great.

Thank you

Someone corrupted this ROM by messing with the head maps. I restored the original (?) SAP from the copy in the Extra Space.

Was there a ROM error before you messed with the head maps, or did the ROM error happen afterwards?

Thank you very much fzabkar.

HDD has been processed somewhere before, but we have no information about what happened. The heads has been replaced and there are damages on the platters. First I checked rom ( this is my rituel :) and encountered this problem.

sabotage perhaps?

I think it looks like ineptitude rather than sabotage.

BTW, the ROM has two halves, and there are copies of the adaptives in each half. F3RomExplorer incorrectly detects the second half as Extra Space.

is that why F3 explorer didn't work?

i'm pretty sure you have own tool for this.

The rom works great ( thanks again) but unfortunately there are still mechanical issues to be resolved.

F3RomExplorer (free version) was written before the ROM formats began to change. I just have a CRC calculation tool and a different tool for locating single-bit errors.
