is this accurate in regards to maxtor pcb swaps. it says firmware(ROM) chips do not need to be transferred.

I was more curious in general, but in particular, this drive is a current project STM3250820A

AIUI, the Maxtor drive (DiamondMax 21) is equivalent to a Seagate 7200.10, in which case you would only need to match the firmware. That is, you wouldn't need to transfer any "adaptives".
