OK. Does BIOS see drive properly, or as "N40P"?

Try other PCB
Cut the comunication chanel as last option with combination of LDR loading

What LDR you use, and have you try with other?

maybe the drive hang on readliness.

try this :
safe mode
firmware start
HDD ID reading
choose loader (overlays only) - must match the ROM

If this Ok, hopefully you can access the SA
