Can anyone help me need firmware for WD1600BEVT-75ZCT2
has anyone recovered sa access on one of these drive has faulty mpu so do not have rom data

Denali use Internal ROM which means copy of ROM is stored in SA.

Place non-native (donor) PCB on HDD and use Auto ROM recovery option within PC3000. Database resources can be downloaded from update box.

Other option is to use donor PCB to get SA access via ID and identify SA version from overlay modules (11, 12 etc) then you can request exact ROM version you need here

Hi thanks for your input
Database resources are not in my update box for this drive for wd1600bevt t2 firmware
do not have a wd1600 donor got new pcb from ebay but when checked it found that it was from a drive that had 3 heads it is the same pcb but not right firmware that why need firmware can anyone help

Download "Denali.PCR" from update box, if is not there contact Igor or Roustam. Then use donor PCB on patient HDD, enter kernel mode and select ROM Recovery.

Different head map will make no difference, though seems unusual to have donor of same capacity and family with different head map.But does not matter, SA heads will be same (or at least 1! )
