I didn't hear the standard head load clicks I'm used to hearing, so it
very well may be the heads. I'd have to try spinning it up again, but I
think it shuts down right about the time it tries to load the heads.

This system
uses a Vertex V170 (60MB?) ST-506 drive. Is anyone familiar
with them? I'm guessing I may just end up having to replace the drive with
something else. Does anyone have any brands/models they'd suggest trying
in this system?
If your drive spins up and then stops shortly, it is likely that it
either does not come fully up to speed or it is unable to unlock (or
unstick) the heads from the park position. (I'd bet on the heads.) Can
you hear the usual clickety noises that a drive makes when it
initializes?
