I've had the same problems with Seagate 4038 on an IBM PC AT (6 Mhz).
Occasionally the drive does not spin.. the only solution is to remove the drive,
and inertially rotate the spindle, then it seems fine for a while..
I've called Seagate, and they want $275 w/o shipping & handling to fix it. I
could almost replace the drive for that cost!! I'm pretty P.O'ed about it. 
I may just change all the spec's for our existing customer's drives to CDC!!
(WE use 4056's now).....
