need loader for maxtor 94610H6 BAC51KJ0

[drc]

drive is a 46.1GB DiamondMax 60. BAC51KJ0 CMDA pcb code G8DNB. Thanks!

[drc]

also this is for a maxtor ALTAIR series drive which I can find remarkably little info regarding online.

This drive family was never supported by PC3000.

[drc]

Yeah, I was unable to find any info about them in the documentation.

So.... what now? If you have one of these drives that needs DR you're just out of luck?

[msurgeon]

You never mentioned what the symptoms were.

[drc]

Typical maxtor problem... Detects as Maxtor ALTAIR, does not click when it spins up.

[msurgeon]

Doesn't sound like heads but it's possible. First try hot swap with similar model. If you are able to access sectors after this you may be able to use Data Extractor to rebuild virtual translator. Good luck.

Or you can use older version of pc3k isa V14 that works with these models .

Thanks for the insights... I was able to get it working with the Salvation tool.
