I'm not surprised they spun up I am a little surprised that they read properly. I had some drives like that a while back. So fun when you are playing with disks that in their day probably cost 60k to store about 20gb Of data (at most). Now something the size of a pinky finger nail can store TB. Crazy world.

The 20meg Connor spun up and read fine, the RDB was mangled in the image file. I can recover it I just have not put forth the effort yet. The 42 meg Seagate had the head arms pinging off the platter here and there, tried to image it with no luck. The Seagate was a drive that came out of a computer that had massive battery damage that could not be recovered. The drive itself is covered with corrosion that has been neutralized and cleaned up a bit.

I also was using a BlueSCSI v2.0 in initiator mode and not a computer with a Scsi card so that might have something to do with the errors.
