79 drives are flashable..all we need to do is dump the drive to get the key to create the hacked firmware. you can nbuy a hardware mod/chi which can be soldered to the unit to make it dumpable lol.its up to you lol

Is this true now?

Thanks for the help.. i have 4 of these drives just waiting for a firmware flash instead of the modchips..

Yes. You need to buy a Maximus Passkey, solder it to the drive, which will allow the drive to enter B and the user to read/write to the firmware chip. Google Maximus Passkey and you will see what he's talking about. There is no other way to flash the Hitachi FK79 presently.
