For once I'm having a day where things are going my way. Head swapped a rampless 4 platter WD drive and it actually imaged quickly. Then got a native USB one in, replaced with a SATA board. It didn't ID at first but a quick upload of module 13 as overlay in RAM an it became completely functional (as long as it isn't powered off). Haven't even hit a single bad sector yet, and it's imaging full speed. Can't ask for easier than that.
