Hi

Having some difficulty working out what is wrong with this particular drive.
Below is the terminal output at start-up. Drive becomes ready but any test/command issued to it locks it busy until reset. Will lock busy even if an attempt is made to read its ID. Terminal log below:

SPW 1.5G LinkOk! ADC: 0003

Heads seem fine (Were placed into a donor and worked without a problem)
Attempted hotswap and was able to read SA modules but again even after the swap the drive just stuck busy when any instruction was issued.

Wondered if anyone had any ideas

Ah fair enough Not even a cryptic clue?

I can guess what may be wrong but would never risk anothers data with a guess!

May have to take you up on it if important enough.
