Drive sporadically remains BSY but sometimes comes RDY.
Have terminal access.
Have tried LED000000CC solution both with isolating and shorting.
Isolating method gave me a partial Backup but no SYS Files and no data access.

Shorting got to
Rst 0x20M
RW: Disc Ctlr Initialization Completed.
(DOS) Table Read FAIL
DOS: MAGIC CONFIG NUMBER MISMATCH
(DOS) Table Read FAIL
No HOST FIS-ReadyStatusFlags 2002A1A5
but never spun down or give terminal access

Heads appear to be okay.
I have no access to SYS files but can see some might be damaged in terminal.
Heads appear to be okay
Via the terminal trying to access r17A and r345 gives errors

Terminal at start up gives
Rst 0x20M
RW: Disc Ctlr Initialization Completed.
(P) SATA Reset

SMART has been cleared via terminal

Any ideas??
