I have a Maxtor XT8760 E disk drive that was pulled from an Apollo
3500 because it would not spin up. It sounds as if the brake is
stuck. I have been in touch with various data recovery houses who
are more than willing to take my money to recover the data. The prob- 
lem is that I believe the data to be good, it's the mechanics that
need looking into. Does anybody have any suggestions as to whom 
could look/repair the drive without demanding $2000.00 to recover
the data? All response appreciated.
