Hi,

Thanks for help!

I can not find a hdd with the right preamp value.

I could get donor drives with D0 74 / D0 67 and so on (D0 XX serie).

Whats are your experiences with this hdd ?, other persons says take any hdd with D0 and XX value).

Any D0 XX should work just fine.

[michael chiklis]

pre amp value indicated in your rom is D0 00

Thanks to mr_spokk, digisupport and michael chiklis.

I will test new heads with a D0 XX PREAMP.

Question the PREAMP bytes are not a fixed offset !? (as far as I know).

How can i calculate the right position ?
Or is the right position in a another byte offset like MR jogs (WD - mod. 47 0x20).

Thanks for any info.

Any D0 XX should work just fine.

Thanks, i find the oracle post yesterday.

I find now a compatible head-stack, and can copy data.

But i have to many read errors (heavy head-stiction) and can not clear the g-list.
Media cache and so on are disabled, i have the mods, but can not copy0 sys file 1b
(copy1 are ok).

Thanks for any help!
