Spyglass ROM locked

Hi everyone.

I have a Spyglass and to get it to read via SATA I had to adapt it to disable USB communication, as you can see in the image.

I tried reading the ROM using an external programmer and I get the following message:

"ROM section code not found. This ROM is probably already unlocked."

I'd like to know if anyone has experienced this before?

Thanks.

The hard drive is currently being cloned, but I don't have full access to SA and I can't create a head map because the ROM is still locked.

Looks like an older Spyglass, the lock is in Module 02. Read ROM through terminal COM mode, write back with block module 02 checked, restart drive. After drive gets ready work with RAM > Unblock module 02 access, then edit hard drive ID, security subsystem. disable SED tech mode lock, unblock 02 in ROM. Now you're good
