here is a picture of my drive (I bought on ebay)
http://tinyurl.com/99vb4sl
The PCB is 7200.9, if I can find firmware for a different hard drive, as long as the PCB is the same the firmware will work with my drive, correct?...
One last question, maybe it's a really dumb one, but my FW right now is 3.AHL ... the letters confuse me, do they work just like numbers? for instance would a (hypothetical) 3.AIL be more up to date?... I see lots of 3.AAD and 3.AAJ... but if the letters were numbers (A=1, B=2 C=3 etc.) then both 3.AAD and 3.AAJ would be older than my current 3.AHL...
ugh... why didn't they just use numbers?
