Hello Day1data,

Have you found it? Can you access SA with another ROM+LDR ?

Best

If you use any ROM + matching LDR from the same family you can read tracks and then extract module 11 from those. From that module you can tell what ROM version the original was. Will save you a ton of time trying ones that will never work.

Thanks for the tip Data Medics.

Turned out there were head issues and the ROM was missing.
First the heads were swapped then the ROM was regenerated from SA.

Thanks to everyone for the replies.
