Hi folks,
Has anyone happened to squirrel away a copy of the Maxtor/Sequel LXT or
MXT series documentation or firmware updates?
I've got an LXT200A sat on the bench which seems to have corrupted
on-disk firmware -- the firmware version is shown as "1.02BROM"
I've got an identical second drive which works but has bad sectors,
which identifies as "1.02BHAT".
I'm hoping to dump the on-disk firmware on the working one and load it
onto the dead one -- either onto disk or temporarily into RAM... high
hopes I know.
This is all an experimental thing - the local data recovery firms aren't
interested in a drive this old or this small...
If anyone has a mirror of Maxtor's old FTP site or support BBS, these
are some of the files I'm after...
MXTA_53.EXE MAIN 41K 03/94 MXT540A/AL Frimware Rev 5.3
firmware 540
MXTA_54.EXE MAIN 40K 03/94 MXT540A/AL Firmware Rev 5.4
Firmware Upgrade for MXT-540AT.
MXTA_55.EXE MAIN 40K 03/94 MXT540A/AL Firmware Rev 5.5
Firmware Upgrade for MXT-540AT.
MXTA_60.EXE MAIN 41K 03/94 MXT540A/AL Firmware Rev 6.0
Firmware Upgrade for MXT-540AT.
Alternatively the same covering the LXT series.
Or this (or similar) documents covering the LXT series:
MAXTOR LXT-200A TECHNICAL MANUAL 1019707
Cheers
Phil.
