[SunRescue] Seagate ST32550N electronics failure

[Chris Kozlowski]

I have one of the suckers that stopped working for me.  I am not
sure why it stopped working, though -- it is one of those elusive
deals where you don't know if it is the mechanics or the electronics.
BUT -- I do have quite a few more of them, so if you like, I will
try to swap the boards and see if it comes up, and if it doesn't,
I will assume it is the board, and be more than happy to send it
to you so that you can get yours working.  Look for a response
from me this weekend on the subject.
