Hi I have a Seagate ST96812AS with a burned PCB. My drive FW is 7.01 and I found a replacement drive to buy with FW 3.06. Also the PCB are different. Is there any way that it will work OK.

No, it won't work.

You need same F/W, at least

These both pcbs are not even of the same family . Try repairing the burned pcb as u will have a hard time finding this pcb because its very old .
