I'm pretty sure this HD had autoparking heads (I'm almost positive all
IDE drives have). I could see it being a problem if it was an MFM

Not all IDE drives have/had autopark heads. I know this was many many
moons ago, but the first couple hard drives I owned <50MB didn't have
autopark heads. you had to tell it to park the heads, and I know they
were IDE drives cause I still have them around. :)
