AAM for Seagate 7200.7

[Pace]

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.

not for quite a while already.

not for quite a while already.

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
