Hi all
I am not been able to get T> for Seagate Barracuda 500 GB Desktop hard disk. FW is KC45
Disk stays busy and in terminal shows following -
( for only PCB and HDA removed )
Boot 0x10M
Spin Up
FAIL Servo Op=0100 Resp=0003

with HDA -

Rst 0x10M
MC Internal LPC Process
Spin Up


Despite lot of attempts disk does not come to T>

Is it because --

1) PCB issue ?
2) PCB non native ?


Pls. help

If you're connecting only the PCB, then that would rule out #2 wouldn't it. It's not magically able to know what HDA you plan to attach it to.

Have you tried shorting the read channel? Also, what terminal error are you getting with the HDA attached?
