OK, looks like Spildit has a tool that can extract the CPs from the ROM: http://www.hddoracle.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1724

So I suppose that you can use that to extract them and then write them to the SATA board. You'll just have to find a computer running an old version of Windows to run it.

do you know Which version of windows need for this program?
I think it only works in Win 98 and XP. Maybe it works in 32 bit Windows 7 if you emulate XP mode.

I remember getting it to run once, but it also doesn't work on newer ROMs as the CP sizes are different. I think it's pretty much a dead project.

But, it's not that hard to carve them out manually. Just look and the opening signature of each page and the size. Doesn't take too long in a hex editor to carve them out.

The only thing I'm not sure of is whether or not Toshiba ROM code includes a CRC or checksum that would need to be adjusted.
