The drive spins normal but the status is constantly busy, so can't load any information from the drive. When it is load with F3 Arch (common) I get the access to the terminal and here is a terminal response:

The drive has a locked diagnostic port so I can't do anything, the only solution was to try with patching rom, but that didn't help to, because this drive isn't supported by PC3000 yet. Is anybody have a similar problem or have some suggestion what else I can try besides waiting for ACE to implement this patch/family in the PC3000...

I've a same drive, busy for long then ready and again busy once tries to access sector, and can't patch

looking for guideline

Hello Shahi,

Please send us ROM from this drive.

Is there any update to this? Are there any patched ROMs for this with an adjusted head map? I need to get a ROM that has Head 0 off and another with Head 1 off in the heads map ad the RAM heads map wont register and shows a constant "ABR". I have the original ROM that i can send to anyone that can help. Thanks!
