If you just need the ROM, it turned up as the second hit in a Google search. :-)

Extract the EXE file and carve the HD103SJ ROM code out of it.

If you need help in doing this, then see this thread:

I should add that the ROM code in the firmware update only covers the first half of the ROM. The second half is filled with 0xFF bytes except for a small FIPS section at offset 0x70000 (IIRC). The FIPS data sometimes become corrupted, resulting in a no-spin symptom. You can sometimes (always?) patch FIPS data from a donor ROM, but from what I have read at Ace Labs' forum, you should be able to substitute a dummy FIPS consisting of 16 header bytes and two checksum bytes at the end. The 16-bit little endian checksum is computed such that the overall sum of the FIPS block is 0x0000. I can do this for you if you like.

BTW, the firmware update also includes an update for the MOVLY001 module.

Here is my Analysis of Samsung's SpinPoint F3 firmware update:

It only took me 10 minutes. :? The FIPS section is a dummy, though. I've also included the MOVLY001 module.

BTW, you can use the same technique for other drives. Here is a Seagate example:
