The utility supports reading both via ATA (if the HDD is initialized and able to perform factory mode commands) and 
in the Boot Code mode. In the latter case you have to specify the terminal baud rate. 

The ROM tab allows reading the Flash ROM of a drive to the hex editor. The utility supports reading both in ATA or in 
Boot Code mode (terminal). In the latter case you have to specify the terminal baud rate. Writing to ROM is performed 
in Boot Code mode. 

 

Fig. 7.5 

The System File tab can be used to access the service information files of a drive.
