PC3000 EXPRESS Version 6.9.16

I am trying to patch the lock because the sector cannot be accessed.

In order to patch, you need to read the ROM with a terminal.

Can't read rom with terminal
The following message is output.

I've tried all the terminal read speeds. The same error message is output.

Are you selecting BOOT CODE mode on startup then reading the rom that way first?

Yes, it is. I entered the utility and entered the boot code below, but the ROM is not read. Does the PC-3000 not support that PCB?

The message you see "Software can`t control COM port signal level for this USB/COM adapter" is typically shown when using PC USB terminal 2
Means ( as it says ) COM port signal level can not be set to correct voltage.

Time to make a mod and correct the signal levels or get a PC USB terminal 3 that supports 3,5v, 2,5v and 1,8v set automatically by PC3000.
Then you can read the ROM from the M11 drive without errors.

thank you. I'm trying it with terminal 3. If there is an error after trying, I will let you know again.

Hello guys!! Has this problem been resolved?
I have two similar cases, it doesn't read the Rom in any condition. I use terminal 3 in Portable V 7.0.32.
