Update
After reapplying the GarminCyre3 on the manually modified RGN (converted from 440_GCD with hexedits), the PC can now see the Garmin volume (Win 10). The drive is mounted as:
GARMIN (E)
System Volume Information

Garmin Express however can't see the device. Looks like one or more files/folders need to b erestored. Unfortunately, I have none backed up
