We currently have a MACIIfx which has blown 3 1.2G disk contoller boards (the
onboard main controller cards). I found this out by taking a good controller
off of another drive and installing it.  My situation is that I have 3 large
drives with LOTS of good data on them and I could do a quick board swap if
I could get them (it takes about 5 minutes).  The problem is that I can't get
the cards from Seagate (they don't spare part the controller boards) and it
costs $1000/drive to have the drives refurbished.  Does anyone know a place 
that will fix these controllers??  

I am sure that I won't be purchasing another drive from Seagate...
