First of all, Congratulation MarkH. I'm still some steps away doing the same.
My path of research in the internet passed me thru a forum, reading something about a broken Fujitsu HD and the possibility to recover the drive with a firmware upgrade program and the actual firmware backup.
Does someone has experience on that? I'm still looking for the name of this tool, for the PhatBox FW as well.
Sure, thats a different way, than what we discussing here usually, like a patch in the SW.
