August 10th, 2010, 7:26

Can anyone help me with the ROM contents for this drive? I can supply more information from the label if this is needed.

What, you want a ROM for one? You realize they're all different, right?

Apologies, I didn't make it very clear. The original ROM content is unavailable due to PCB damage that cannot be repaired. I need a closer match than I currently have to access the SA with PC3k. Can anyone help?

you want to recreate the ROM from the firmware modules is you have access to the SA.

Problem he has is current ROM is not compatible enough to give SA access which is why he wants to try alternate ROM versions that may be closer to the FW of his WD

well in that case skyline PM me and I'll sort out a ROM for you. The drive I had in yesterday is a good match for yours, I might be interested in some working heads :)
