The ram requires EEC.
Spinrite works on the contoller level. So it t does not need know what format or structure it's in. Writing and reading to the HD, do not change with OS, the controller level cmds are still the same. Trust me this program is probably the best one on finding and correcting problems on HD's.

Does SNAP provide a ssh log-in or something? If I could just log in and run some tools (which I can do from a Linux boot disk) then I'm sure I could get it going...

Yes, it does but normally it requires SSH to be turned on for root access. You can use Putty or any terminal program. Snap changed access and cmd needed to gain access as you go through version. This changed as the core shell changed. V3 and V4 is one of easier ones. You connect using putty or terminal, login with your normal user, then su - <password> then your on if you get the # prompt.
I think v3 was Gentoo Linux then it changed to Redhead Enterprise and now on to something else.
