In this case, I need the exact same FW version, LIM2. I've got dozens of SSHD boards for this model of drive, but none of them will work with the patient ROM.

My basic understanding is that a sector in the g-list has already been remapped for LBA use. If you clear the g-list, it simply puts those bad sectors back into "available" circulation for the next remapping that might be needed. I can't see low a LLF would make a difference, other than po...

It doesn't trigger anything with my Trend Micro.

Even though I usually set it for jumps of 0x10, I tend to jump by 0x20 for the first couple of attempts. It doesn't always works, especially with the Rosewood series drives. I always save to ROM and repower to test. At the end of the day, a head swap usually works when AFH adjustments don't.

We think we got the data from this bad sector 100%. Don't worry, even if we didn't, it is unlikely you will ever notice.

I'd be curious to know the demand for such an old drive that cannot even be confirmed to work by the seller.

Don't you hate it when your eyes are open to the cult and then you feel left out?

I finally downloaded my updated copy of 6.1. I can't wait to get it setup on a USB boot drive and end the need for my having to change heads and clone drives ever again. Oh wait! I live in the real world.

I put the unknowns at the bottom of my list. If you know who they are, let me know so I can edit the post.
