I have one here, it's a good working drive (WD800JD-00LSA0) and is only
a spare used for testing purposes so it won't be the end of the world if
it dies in the process.
Where abouts are you? I'm in Bristol and if you're reasonably close we
could try swapping boards to try to get the data off?
Failing that I don't mind having a go if you want to ship the drive (and
another drive or a pile of DVD-Rs to put the copy onto) to me.
Drop me a line at simon . patten @ blueyonder. co. uk (remove spaces) if
interested.
Cheers,
Simon.
