If they will answer i will ask them some flashing tool.ĭo you have any datasheet or flash tool for this INITIO chip ? What is stored on the external flash? just a personalization code o the entire operative system?ģ) i requested the complete datasheet to initio, but they still didn't answer.

I know it is the same chip installed on some Western Digital hard disks.

WD VIRTUAL CD MANAGER FOR MAC

I updated the firmware on two drives (both My Passport for Mac 500GB) to 20.18 without any problems. Wd smartware virtual cd manager no device found for mac# This is my first post on this comunity, hope to became guru soon. The INIC-1607E bridge IC encrypts the data whether or not you have set a password. When you connect your HD directly to your motherboard, Windows sees the encrypted data and therefore is unable to recognise any partition. If you now reinitialise and reformat the drive, and then reinstall it in your enclosure, the Initio chip decrypts the unencrypted data, resulting in jibberish. It appears that the ROM code in the Initio chip, or its external flash memory, enables the virtual CD-ROM. Lifting the clock pin would be informative.

Some simple USB-SATA bridges only use the external EEPROM for customising the Product ID and Vendor ID of the device. In the absence of such an EEPROM, these chips report their own manufacturer's ID.ĪIUI, multifunction USB devices will enumerate themselves by going through the identification process several times in quick succession. Perhaps the external EEPROM code (?) controls this behaviour.
