• The new version 4.41 of PC-3000 for Windows with Data Extractor UDMA has been released

WD Marvell

• DragFly1 family is added
• We have significantly improved ROM automatic recovery on SA data
• We have added the mode of writing ROM modules from files, and corrected the error when modules formed at ROM recovery were not displayed in file selection form

• Database search form now can build a list of all available F/W versions
• BOBCAT (2.5"), MARINER (2.5") families are added
• WD Marvell resources now have the modification of profile according to F/W image data, namely:
  
  
  "F/W version" (version of module 11) attribute is now calculated which corrects the old resourses (not ROYL) that did not have this attribute at all and some new resources, for example Pinnacle, where F/W version was defined incorrectly. Now you can all WD Marvell resourses according to F/W version.


• We have added recovery mode for module 47 for non-ROYL HDD

• Now you can remove passwords at the utility start for JAMAICA (2.5") and MERCURY (2.5") families that do not have access to SA at installed USER PASSWORD

• We have corrected the report on defects in SelfTest logs
• Now the report on SelfTest duration shows duration in minutes
• Automatic temperature logger has been added
• In "SA structure test" the work on ID has been made (if SA copies are not available)
• MIDORI, Tornado 3D falimiles are now supported
• We have changed FlashDir interpretation algorithm to solve a problem of access to the second SA copy
• TAHOE, DragFly3 families are added into the supported models

• Now ID pages are saved in service information reservation
• Database documents properties have now the new parameter FW Package Version, which allows to identify and search resources in database more efficiently
• The strategy of solving LED CC problem has been changed:
  - we have simplified transfer of such hard drives into diagnostic status ES.2
  - we have added reservation of ROM, CP, modules before recovering HDD with LED: CC problem
  - we have implemented algorithm of HDD restoration with LED: CC problem without a necessity to regenerate translator
• The strategy of password unlock has been changed
• Now you can switch on and off power supply and continue reading if your Hard Disk Drive hangs when reading modules
• We have corrected the error in the function of writing modules from database
• The following functions have been added into the utility:
  - reading ROM on ATA
  - reading/writing CP on ATA (currently, writing only in RAM)
  - reading/writing of modules on ATA
  - reservation of service information on ATA (ROM, CP, modules)
  - password unlock (through interfaces ATA + terminal)
  - functions of work with database (import/export/template creation)

• Hdx7210SLAxxx family is now supported

• M6S_2D family has been added
• You can save track defects after formatting
• Autodetection of some models from MANGO family has been added
• Input of head test has been added
• Cursor keeps its position when positions in "Burn-Script" editor are removed
• Now you can interrupt utility initialization
• We have added output of zone numbers in report about ALIST defects
• The speed of writing modules is considerably increased for all families
• The window where you choose families has a new look now
• There are more describtions of BURN-test commands

• search info interface now has ability to show the list of all ROM checksums
• "FMTI edit" mode now can recover zone profiles with heads when FMTI module is damaged

• search mode in database is upgraded, now it is possible to paste querry HDD info
• directory selection is improved (is used in all writing database modes), we have added the button "HDD Folder"
• dedicated database procession is improved
• search mode, that can search database changes for synchronization over export/import, is added
