And the latest version of PC-3000 can't work with those as well and aparently ROM is signed/locked, etc etc ... so ... outsource to someone that can work with those ?


What met a disk, once, which been unlocked, and pc3k was able to deal with SA under different family ID.
So, the mater is how to break lock system only, right?

I would like to, do you know someone in Eu where to outsource and who can solve them aswell as you?
Same can you do for the Chargers families?
What do you think if we buy factory unlocked Palmers (which are present on the market) , can that help to find solution how to unlock all the rest ?

I would start by dumping the ROM from the unlocked drive and comparing it against the locked drive. If you can access the SA on the unlocked drive, then create a loader and transfer the patient's adaptives to the unlocked ROM. Then see if you can access the patient's SA with the donor ROM + patient adaptives + donor loader.

Hi,
The lock is connected to the PCB (MCU) and not to the ROM
After the ROM is loaded from the unlocked disk to the locked disk, the disk is still blocked
Please add an exact photo of the unlocked PCB

You are right, without (MCU) from unlocked there is nothing can be done with locked PCB.
Transfering ROM from unlocked donor's pcb to patient pcb (lleaving neccesary original things), doesnt help.
Transfering ROM from Patient disk to donor PCB make the same.
MCU somehow linked with own ROM, or with some code.

Can you use hot swap to access SA of locked drive ?


It is pointless, due of 4F module presence like on previouse families.

I have analysed a "locked" ROM here:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=36673

There are 4 new adaptive ROYL modules (181h, 1A2h, 1B0h and 1B6h) plus two ROYL modules with ID = 0xDDDD.

This "Hitachi" model (HTS541010B7E610) appears to use the same PCB:

http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/TRoAAOSwfqFaoBN6/s-l1600.jpg

Would it be worthwhile investigating whether the firmware (01.01A01) is any different? I suspect that it's just a case of badge engineering, but who knows?

From what I read there are factory unlocked pcb's? So there's a chance to buy same model with factory unlocked pcb? Am I right?
