Yello everyone
i got an external HDD, the PCB is usb only. PC would detect it only for an instant and then lose connection with it, but it still spun
after some curses i manged to find the pinout of the sata to usb chip and i soldered a sata port to the pcb bypassing the USB controller (and removing the 10nf caps)
connecting the hard disk i managed to see the files for what was about 30 secs, the explorer crashed, after the restart the pc would stall and disk managment would crash, at this point the hard disk started clocking a littlle and stopped. removed everything and i tried again after some mins and the thing was the same, see the datas for a little, PCB controller gets hot, little click and crash/stall
getting a new PCB and doing a rom swap will help? Thank you (i still don't have pc3k... )
