Actually, come to think of it, when our MSD-500's failed (three of them!),
one of the things they did try was swapping the electronics on the drive ...
which they did after trying a new controller board. Of course, it's more
of a pain for them to swap out a whole MSD-500 than it is to swap out one
of the 5 1/4" drives (the MSD-500 must weigh at least 100 lb).
