I CAN hear the hard disk rotating now, but I still get the
"Can't Recal:Response = 4" message when I try anything, including
parking the heads.  The disk IS a Hitachi, not the feared Seagate
(with no head self-parking)

I have some new hard disks on the way, maybe those babys'll
make tracking this down easier.
