In attempting to resurrect my beloved 6300, the included Miniscribe 3650 42MB MFM drive doesn't want to function any more. (It's not stiction because the platter spins up and I can hear some seeking.) It spins up, I can hear some head seeks, and then there is a soft "clunk", after which the front LED flashes out an error code. According to http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/hard-drives-hdd/miniscribe/M3650-42MB-5-25-HH-MFM-ST506.html the error code is "Seek errror during burn-in or recal".
I have both hardcards and a single XT-IDE I can use in it, so it's not like I'm out of luck -- I just want to see what's on the drive before I throw it away. Is there any hope of recovering this data without a recovery service?
