you need to locate the eeprom, see it type, and get a eeprom programmer for it, read the data, locate the serial, modify it then write it back. Tools for serial eeprom programming you can find at www.lancos.com, or beeprog

Thank you, mmx64.

The Eeprom is an ATMEL0536 in a Toshiba MK1031GAS. The beeprog devices are wickedly expensive for this project, but I'll try it with the Lancos-PonyProg. If there any useful results, I'll post it here.

Well i dont know this eeprom model, but for shure pony-prog cannot read-write it. Inst there another code on that eeprom?

Meanwhile I learnt that the serial numer lives in the system area on the platters, see here at video position 3:20 ff. That means one needs special software e.g. PC3000 to access that area.
