Hi,
Happy post New Year...

You'll save yourself some time by checking the Danis506 output first. If
the drive is not visible to Dani506, it's not going to be visible to the
upper level components.

That sort of implies that danis506 sees the drive and then decides it
can't be used because it's not responding properly. How ibm1s506 dies is
a bit irrelevant, since this is a case of GIGO. However, it is another
data point.

Well, think back on what you learned in your probability classes. There's
also the Murphy rule, which IIRC is taught in the class that covers fault
tree analysis.
A couple of more things to try. Try /!BIOS with Danis506. Try the dfsee
bootable CD and select the low performance drivers. This will effectively
use the BIOS to access the drive.
