# With donor pcb and patient unlocked rom we get full id of donor drive and ready state with no data access and this terminal ouput:
Waiting drive spin up
# Needed to modifiy IAP and ran /OI1 with donor rom. Cleared IAP mod and drive now id's with correct serial and gives data access.
# MRB with disabled make loader, 3D, 3E, 20D, 20E
# Can't remove tech mode unlock patch to use with encryption case. Even though rom reads and test as patch being cleared on both pcbs it still asks to unlock on power up.
