Well, not calibration, but you'd still need whichever chip holds the
list of bad sectors and which ones have been swapped in their place.


Ahhh, yes, now that's annoying; if calibration and bad sectors go into
the same chip I'm kinda stuck. But I guess it's OK, I can loose some
files, I just want the bulk of them...

Unless some of the swapped sectors - either in the dead drive or the one
whose boards you use - are ones that cover the partition table, master
file table, boot sectors, etcetera.


Hahaha, you like dashing my hopes ;-) Yup, if that's the case then I'm
in trouble, and the recovery company will be charging me to rebuild the
filesystem. Oh well, I can always (hopefully) ask them for the raw disk
image and do it myself...
