Firmware Basic
The firmware is not fully resident in PCB, some parts are in sectors forming the so called Service Area (SA). The firmware stored in SA is modular and it has the following 3 kind of modules:
Data Modules – managing data area (eg. P-list and G-List)
Management Modules – managing the HDD basic functionality
Techno Modules – managing SA access operations
