Well randomly at reboot I had my Seagate 750GB stop detecting. So I verify it's spinning up & go looking for a logic board only to find there is a known firmware bug known as "BSY" which I gather is the drive thinking it's busy & not responding.

So it looks like the fix is a serial link to the logic board where you can issue a series of commands to reset it. Anyone else run it this & tired the fix? Tim, can you offer insights? I've ordered a USB-TTL adapter to give it try since I have all my AV crap on it & don't want to loose it if possible.

Really need scrape up the $280 for a pair of WD20EARS but this is my 2nd newest drive about 1.5yr old! Will be my last Seagate for the near future for sure!
