ST31000528AS No ID Data Recovery Caselog

22May25: This seagate 3.5 hard drive does not ID when you connect it. PCB: 100535537 REV A. The drive goes busy when you try to ID it. We could only get terminal access by spamming ctrlz on power up which gave full F3 and SA access. Edited the SMP and got a full ID and all data back.
