Hi,
Is there anyway to enable AAM for Seagate 7200.7 PATA?
I know the SATA versions have AAM disabled but I've read that PATA works
fine.
I've tried Hitachi's Feature Tool but doesn't seem to work.

Perhaps the "Automatic Acoustic Management feature set"
has been disabled.

Maybe that Svend can shed some light on that.
Are you listening, Svend?

At some point I considered if AAM was disabled using the
Device Configuration Overlay feature set, but no.

I have from my Identify program:

I do not know the model names, except for the ST numbers, but they are
both PATA disks.

Suggestion:
for comparitive purposes it may come handy to use a standard
layout and (also) list the non supported items as "not supported".

I do not know the model names, except for the ST numbers, but they are
both PATA disks.

The S-ATA versions apparently are STxxxxxxxAS
