PC-3000 Forum

Dear Support,

Its been really really a long time since the last udma Update

we have some issues here with those new families which are not supported yet

WD 2.5

Shrek : Not Supported yet
ShrekLT : Not Supported yet


WD 3.5

Tressels : Not Showing the HM in ROM - All Blanks
Trails : Not Showing the HM in ROM - All Blanks

In Addition to some other Models which i cannot remember now, Still there are issues on working with them

Something else About Toshiba Drives as well

-- some families when you try to Set Max and use lower value, you cannot set it back again to original Size
once you power off/on again it comes back to the lower value but still can work with it in DE


When can we expect the next update on the English ver. of UDMA?

I know for sure the Russian ver. of UDMA has those updates even months before the English release.

thank you

waiting for your comments here

By the way

The Chinese DFL tool for WD can read/backup FW from USB 3.0 with DIRECT USB CONNECT - if the drive is healty

udma up till now we are accessing via Terminal ONLY

is there any updates about this issue as well,

thank you again

Thanks einstein9 to open this topic here,,

as you mentioned about Wd . there is some i can add here about other kinds
Hitachi the new drivers especially 3.5 passwords is not working and needs to update

Well Based on my Log here

Updates in 2012: 3 Updates been Added

1- Begin Jan 2012
2- Middle April 2012
3- End of June 2012

you may see their website for the correct update release

but this year 2013 seems NOTHING SO FAR, which is really Upsetting me here

we get daily new drives and nothing much can be done here

Looks like a new version is just around the corner, the russian version was updated 30-7-2013 according to the russian Acelab site.

Am wondering WHY ACELAB SUPPORT are not saying anything here??

The new version of PC-3000 Ver. 5.5 and Data Extractor Ver. 5.0 software is available.
http://www.acelab.eu.com/pc3000.ver5.5.php

but unfortunately with no Fujitsu or Hitachi updates!

Dear Acelab Support n Developers

Is there any plans for Toshiba feature which is working with Head Map in RAM or ROM?
