I have a sata Merc2, not detected in BIOS, giving a terminal output of EC=43 error and also complaining of cert code on Ctrl+R.
Could you help me with Cert 3.14? I want to SS the drive. Thanks.

Eng Rev = .501
MERC2 - 1_Disk 3.14 01-20-06 15:55 14 ,MERC2,14
CERT Rev = .029
NONE
Mask Rom Rev = 0.05

Thank you, unfortunately I use free tools, and they don't handle loaders.

Are you use SDLD for upload? So, here is arch with Cert code and Cert tbl.

Thanks. Is it taken from a SATA drive with 3.14 firmware? I compared it with a Cert from a PATA drive having firmware 3.06 and here's the only difference (found at offset 10000):
Is it possible that 2 different Cert revisions differ only in the revision number? And sata and pata certs can also be the same? Asking it, because I have little knowledge of certs not to question your goodwill.
The second part of my original cert seems not damaged (saved it twice and both copies were the same) and is quite different from the one you uploaded.
Started SS with your cert and after Ctrl+T nothing happened (whereas with my damaged one at least it starts (see log).
Can it have other problems?
