[78-L] Data recovery (was Re: cassettes)

[bradc944 at comcast.net]

Talking with fellow computer geeks on the amateur radio, and diagnosing, it sounds like the data is intact, but the control board is fried.  Fortunately on the Western Digital 1 Tb Caviar series of drives, a control board swap is possible, costing me only the price of a new drive (and the 12-back of beer for the guy who has said he can do the swap once he gets back from CES <grin> ).

I'll keep the list advised.

Have you considered sending your drive off to a data recovery 
company? It can be expensive, but it sounds like you have a lot 
invested in this archive.
