[MLUG] Smoked HD...

[George <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Hi all...

Ok I did a very stupid thing and powered up an old old school printer while 
connected to a live PC...  anyway it surged the HD and poof smoke...  No joke 
smoke...  anyway...  it was not due to os or bad hardware just some plain old 
common sence...   where are my backups...  hehe that was the back up drive 
for my other computers on my network...   SO  i am looking for an exact HD of 
this nature so that I can swap controller cards and get my data off....  does 
anyone have a:

Quantum Fireball CX  (hehe fireball more like smoke ball)
IDE 6.4 GB 
on the controller card on the drive its self it has on the ide pins a sticker 
that says

6.4AT P/N CX64A011 Rev 01-B

I have another quantum drive but the pin outs to the read heads are 
different...  and it is a Rev 02-C board....

So please if anyone has a Quantum drive that I could borrow for a few I would 
be much abliged...
