Is possible to move ROM from donor to patient.
Each bord have different MCU and ROM
Donor(D) date 07066 ; patient(P) 07084

ISTM that the two PCBs should be compatible. Both MCUs carry what appears to be a Seagate part number (100356070), which would suggest that STMicroelectronics and Agere are second sourcing each other.

The PCB stickers also have an identical Seagate number (100389143).

If you have the skill you can swap them. The question is "what is this exercise about?"
Compatibility of PCBs?
