But, it does not show up when connected to an eSata port I commonly use.
And, it does not spin up when the 22 pin HDA connector is insulated.
No voltage on the 4 motor pins either.
I noticed that the OP was using a donor board with one BIOS chip instead of three and wonder if that affected his results.
I have ordered the correct donor board due to arrive in a few weeks from China.
When connected via USB, the OS is seeing the USB-SATA bridge firmware, but not the HDD behind the bridge.
The OP's PCB was able to report the model number via SATA, so that would suggest that your board's MCU is not responsive.
