I have one of these drives in that will come ready, all of the modules test good, and so do all of the heads. Unfortunately I have no access to the user data. When I try Sector Edit, I just get ERR ABR, the drive stays spinning and doesn't click or make any sounds. Now when I try a Logical Test I get ERR ABR as well, but the drive immediately makes a light click, spins down for about 10 seconds, spins back up, then repeats itself. I have already tried a new PCB, cleared GList, SMART, and tried Regenerating the Translator. I don't really know where to go from here, any thoughts or suggestions? |

Possibly one or more heads are not healthy and translator cannot load. You can try to pair good heads in Head Map in RAM. As far as I remember you need to specify the address in RAM manually as Head Map Edit feature in PC3K does not find Sadle head map. |

@freakzy: I'm not at work currently, will be later today, so I don't know the exact version #, but its the version right before the one announced a few days ago. @hddguy: as said above not working currently, I will see if I can figure that one out when I get in. |
