Anyone managed to permanently disable Advanced Power Management in WD10JPVX?

Thanks very much for your continued indulgence. ISTM that it may be better to create two tools, one to modify MOD 02 (the “slow fix”) and a second to clear MOD 32 (the relo-list).

Furthermore, it now seems to me that offset 0x4C should be returned to its original value, namely the same value as at 0x5C. AFAICT, this represents the total number of available spares.

I have seen two results produced by professional tools. In one case there is no before-and-after difference in the values at offsets 0x68 - 0x8F whereas the second tool does have differences in this area. ISTM that it would be safest to leave these locations alone, at least until we can determine what they mean.

As for filling MOD 32 with zeros, I would begin at the offset pointed to by 0x30, not 0x84. That appears to be the beginning of the data area.
