Well sice this is not a PC centric group we may not be the best place
for advice.

However...  JTS was a short lived supplier is low cost IDE drives and
were noted for high failure rates though there were the occasional
decent one in the pack.  They were also very slow compared to
the better WD, Seagate, Quantum and Maxtor.

Oh, JTS disappeared withing two years after they show up.

 If it is that old you likely going to be fixing it yourself.

It's a nothing-special 1.2GB IDE drive with a bad reputation, made by JTS.

  JTS are no more, so the only likely option is to
replace it with a
Seagate, WD, or whatever.

JTS were famous for, amongst other things, buying part of Atari from the
Tramiel family, laying off a lot of staff, and then selling it to Hasbro
shortly after being de-listed by the stock exchange and shortly before
going bust in 1998.
