Dear all,
I have tried today to connect some old atapi hard disk (80Gigabytes) through the atapi to usb cable (+ with the external power adapter) to my linux.
I have removed the jumper from the hard disk (which sets it to master or slave).
After connecting it dmesg returns the following message

I do this fairly frequently and all three of my USB/ATA adapters are
somewhat touchy about the hookup sequence. In general, they all work most
consistenly if I do not apply power until all the other connections are
made. You also will need to select either master or slave with the jumper -
I have all my stack of ATA drives jumpered as master. It seems as though
each of the old klunkers has some quirk depending on the manufacturer.
I also have to supply external power to some adapters with soe drives -
seems the USB power is insufficient or gets applied at the wrong time.

It does sound like a dead drive OR a duff adapter. Best way to be sure
would be to scrounge up an old machine/mb with native ATA support and see if
the BIOS can detect the drive on boot.
See if you can tell whether the platter is spinning up as a lot of old
drives will eventually gum up to where it won’t even spin up. You might also
take a close look at the cable connector. It’s not uncommon to get a bent
pin when an old drive has been knocking around under the bench for a while.
This gets into the realm of “ice box starts” etc. If the data on the drive
is important, be prepared to clone/copy the whole thing if it ever starts as
you may get one shot only.
