I beat it up a little and dropped it onto the floor but it still won't talk. Maybe the motor is burned out.

The only reason I'm still interested in this drive is because it's the ONLY one that when attached to the SCSI bus (without the power cable connected) will give me the SuperMac logo on-screen.

The other SCSI disks I've tried won't do this. So perhaps their active termination isn't working all that well.

After further testing I reckon the other drives are getting further. It was hard to tell whether the logo or the grey screen came first because the screen took a long time to kick in. But with it stuck at a grey screen I hit the reset switch on the side of the case and that got me a "faster" reboot, allowing me to see the logo flash up before the screen went grey.
