The software is being written by me as I learn. It has been quite rewarding as well. See here

Guys, this is for me to learn really. I like getting opinions from everyone because it is very helpfull in my direction. I must say that I owe the most to Doomer, and Pepe. Thank you guys! I figure there is no harm in releasing tools that will read, but outside of the ATA terminal portion I will not put out anything that can write. As of this time I am maintaining 2 code versions, one for me and one to post. What else do you guys want to see? lets make this fun.

not the best viewing point.
Pro can recognize easily and safely problems without making things more worse.
I never powerup the drive wich is known dropped before, i give a quote without this.

So the correct order is this:

- Measuring everithing critical
- probe of the PCB alone and masure again
- measure preamp
- make sure about the drive was not dropped!
(if surely not dropped)
- powerup and diagnose by sw
(if possible dropped)
- go into the cleanroom and see

This way is safe.

N.C. I agree completely. I will never give out something that can write data back. I am debating the next version as well as it retrieves the SA tracks. My fear is that people will start using it for password unlocking etc on the WD side. I left out the ROM writing for the obvious reasons, even removed the code completely to prevent even the craftiest person.
