I bought a Seagate ST251 for an AT that would occasionally be ignored by
the machine at power up.  Turning the machine off and kicking it (after the
disk spun down) would usually revive it.  It turned out that the screws
mounting (and grounding) the pcb to the disk unit were loose.  Hitting it
would re-establish contact.
