Re: WD1003FZEX-00MK2A0 - ROM & LDR

Yes, case solved.

The drive was always busy so i couldn't generate rom adaptives.
I had to use TV9-TV10 shorting, then i fixed DIR module.
There were issues on SA, for this reason i couldn't generate rom adaptives first.

Thank you.
:D

Re: Update Released - 2.1.6.0

I've read on mrt forum that new update has heavy bugs on DE.
I don't feel to update at the moment, i have only mrt and i don't need a broken DE.

On the other hand i have read few interesting utilities as the "Preamp DAC edit in ROM tool"...

Re: Platter Stand

Hi Luke,
what's the need for this platter stand when you deal with multi platter hdd?
If you have multi platter drive, you will end with misaligned platters if you take out then one by one.
