Lite-on Read Problem

[chipxtreme]

No matter what ohm resister I try all I get is:

Sending Vendor Intro to port 0xB800
Status 0x51

Sending Vendor Intro to port 0xB800
Status 0xD1

I have tried 16, 18, 20, 22 ohm 0.6W supplied from Maplin and every time get same problem.

I have followed the boxxdr method:

-start JF
-put the switch in position 1 (ON)
-power drive
-in the MTKFlash Tab click "intro"
-it should get "recognized" as unknown flash chip with status 0x72 like it was in Dosflash
-put switch in position 2 (OFF)
-click onto "intro" again
-now JF should recognize the Winbond SPI with status 0x72 and you can dump the whole drive

When I press Intro in JF it brings up the drive info in drive properties then says Intro failed.

For the record my pc has VIA 8237R onboard which I use to flash every single drive without fault. I also have a VIA 6421L card with drivers installed which has a dvd writer installed.

PC is running XP SP3 and has portIO installed.

I will add that a friend had the same problem with both an 93850c and 74850c drives, which either in dosflash or JF, returned 0x51, 0x52, or FxD0-Fx80 ( or something like that ). I've connected the drives pcb to my computer and read the flash instantly. So you might consider that certain sata chipsets that are not that good for the new lite ons. At least I can't find other reason for it to work with my PC, but not with theres ( in jf may be, but in dosflash... )

Would you mind to check which brand SATA chipset there is in your computer and which one your friend has? Might help others also that don't get it to recognize the drive...

my chipset is intel 82801 ICH7, my friends is also with an intel chipset but which one exactly I don't know.
