Rodime SCSI drive from SE30 ROM Help!
Posted by: bromaster on 2024-05-11 15:04:01
Hi guys!
I have a 20MB Rodime drive taken from my SE30. The ROM in the disk is 100% damaged. Does anyone of you have such a disk and could copy the file from the ROM and send it to me so that I can burn a new one? I would be very grateful for your help! I really like this HDD 🙂

How can you tell the ROM is damaged?

I might have a drive like this, I'll take a look tomorrow.

The drive is not detected and does not perform a head test after it was inadvertently connected to the SCSI bus while it was turned on. I assumed that the ROM was responsible for the head test, so I thought it might have been damaged. I gave the ROM to a friend who tried to copy data from it, but unfortunately he only got "0xFF". So I want to try to record a well-known, good .bin file and try this way.

I was mistaken, my drives are Miniscribes, not Rodime!
