My 65meg Seagate ST277N is posessed. I died quietly a couple of nights
ago. And when I turn it on, it spins up ok, sounds normal, but the
activity light blinks 9 times as some sort of internal error code.

Anyone know what the 9 flashes mean? One of Seagate's techs looked down
his list from the manual, and it covered 1 to 6 and 8 (7 flashes were
not assigned). But no 9!

What gives?
