Post subject:  Significance of module 11 in WDR
I was working with wdr 4.00 but could not succeed in writing module in replacement PCB. Is there any significance of module ~id11 in wdr.

How i can be confirmed that the modules are right for the HDD.

Also, can any guru describe the process of writing module in replacement PCB.

Salute to gurus in advance.

Mod11 is practically like a kernel to OS, so it is important. You can't write it to PCB because it's not supposed to be in PCB - it resides on platters

You can sometimes regenerate the ROM from MOD 109 plus a few others.

The rule is that ROM and the FW modules should belong to the same firmware revision. If you try to load in memory Permanent Overlay (mod 11) from a different revision it will cause debug stop and the drive will RESET.

This is a general answer to your general question.

If you need a real help put here all details about your drive, otherwise nobody could even try to help you . Keep in mind that the solution might be different for different drive families.
