The other drive sitting here is a Seagate ST360020A. It spins up normally, seems to init and then waits for eternity.
Tomorrow I'll check whether it becomes RDY and as what it identifies itself. The Firmware is 3.39, is there anything bad to expect..?
Do these Seagate have a serial terminal which is as useful as the terminal of the new ones?

I gave it a try with MHDD: permanently BSY. For a head or SA fault I'd have expected it to knock, a terminal connection would probably clarify things.

yes, post terminal log
