@Gazc0igne & @crazygoldfish:
Thanks for the tip and info. I have ordered a used Hitachi 0047 PCB off ebay, and will try it out when it arrives.
Just so I am sure what to do; first I go to the Firmware 32. Do I load my old firmware dump under the source area, is that enough? Or should I also load my old firmware dump under the target area?
And then I go to the Hitachi page and hit manual spoof?
Sorry for asking all this newbie questions, but I don't feel like making more errors.
