trying to change the controller board of a dead Maxtor
D740X-6L--ata133, 40G, 7200rpm.

Got another working drive but the board will not revive the dead
drive. I suspect the firmware version is wrong. Which is the firmware
identifier on the label?

TIA

I believe all the pertinent information is listed on the HD label.
There might also be some markings on the chip containing the firmware.

line?????

I've no idea... I had more of those but think they're all
gone (even the ones pictured) now... never had to match up
firmware. You might email Maxtor and ask them.
