Ta. I'd found the codes but not for that particular model. Same code, 
indicates to me the drive itself is faulty.

A brief question for those more intelligent than me: will "just any" 
ST506 drive work, or does it need to be a particular model? If so, is 
there a list anywhere of drives which are known workers please?
