My 4 computers (2 MBPs (2012 Mojave & 2020's Big Sur) + 2 PCs [Linux/Debian bullseye and 64-bit Windows 10]) don't see the drive anymore.

I tried to abort and eject, but it failed. I pulled its old school USB cable connection to make MBP respond. I rebooted and retried. It never saw the drive even though the HDD's light blinked. I tried it on another (older) MBP's Mojave, and it never saw it but its light blinked only once right after physically connecting. Same with my Linux/Debian and 64-bit W10 PCs. My Debian's dmesg -T showed failures it seems as shown in https://paste2.org/xeHxaxKN.
