Hi gurus. I came across a rare Toshiba drive (or maybe it's rare in my area). Heads are OK, so is PCB. Looks like ROM problem. Does anyone have resources for this model? Thanks, Pawel. |

ROM problem? Doubtful. Not impossible but unlikely. What are the symptoms? |

Hi pcimage. Sorry for very later reply, but we are quite busy here. For starters - drive was clicking badly. I couldn't get exact donor so I used 76GSX for head swap. Drive is still clicking exactly the same way. I tried patient heads in the donor drive and it works perfect. I managed to save most of the CPs and dumped ROM via terminal from patient drive. I got resources for similar drive and tried to compare them with my drive, and found many differences. I don't remember now which exactly CPs I wrote into patient PCB, but at the moment drive is not clicking. It stays BSY for a long time, then comes up DRD DSC with full SA access (using 76GSX utility), but no sector access at all. I managed to save DD module (p-list) which is stored in service track, so there is an access to the media. Also physical test runs OK. I cannot get access to G-List at all, cannot clear it (don't remember exactly what error it gives right now - I don't have the drive hooked up to PC3K). It looks weird thou. Possibly there is a physical defect on SA preventing access to the g-list track. Any ideas? Pawel. |

If DRD and DSC shows up with full SA access (and assuming you have the updated Data Extractor) you can try using the Toshiba G-List error solution utility within the DE. Then, try to read sectors in PIO mode. |
