The BIOS should still see the drive in the POST sequence. In this case
it does not.

There are 2 reasons why that can be:

a) Apple did some funky stuff to the drive to it non-functional on
non-Mac hardware

b) The PCB on the drive is toast

Cheyenne is looking for an SATA-equipped Mac as a last ditch effort to
get his parental units' data off the drive.
