You will need to solder an adapter for monitoring through TMOS. One of many
variations of the cable:

Then connect via terminal program (windows hyper terminal, ZOC, st_mem,
Norton Commander, etc.)

on power on, Seagate will give you the starting log, like this:

Interface task reset
1024k x 16 buffer detected
ALPINE - 1_Disk S.15 01-16-03 11:51

Buzz - Head Mask 000F - Switch to full int.
Spin Ready
3.04 03-10-03 14:57
(P)PATA Reset
OVERLAY FAILED

and thats exaclty what the problem is - OVERLAY FAILED, so ovl needs to be
rewriten to firmware on the platter
