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
SpnOk
spd: 0000 0000 0000
H: +00000
ADC: 0004
DAC: 7C8A
Unlatch Tk: 00016D4C

Unlatch Done
ENG>SRV>
SvoTbl Loaded
BD

0010
000B
0017
0004
0003
000A
0004
0002
0009
FFFD
FFFB
FFFB
FFFB
FFFF
FFFE
0009
000D
000C0401_0000_0000 ENG>

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? :mrgreen:

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.
