First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- creating calibration data using a first control circuitry of a disc drive;
replacing the first control circuitry with a second control circuitry with different components relative to the first control circuitry in the disc drive, the second control circuitry configured to provide different functionality as compared to the first control circuitry; and
operating the disc drive with the second control circuitry using the calibration data.

Abstract
A method comprises creating calibration data using a first control circuitry of an apparatus, replacing the first control circuitry with a second control circuitry in the apparatus, and operating the apparatus with the second control circuitry using the calibration data. As an example, the apparatus may be a disc drive. The second control circuitry may be substantially similar to the first control circuitry such that calibration measurements using the first control circuitry are applicable to the second control circuitry. The first control circuitry may be included in a circuit board that is replaced with a second circuit board including the second control circuitry. In an exemplary embodiment, the second circuit board may include different and/or additional components relative to the first circuit board, such as integrated video inputs and/or video control circuitry.
