where to get old hard drives?

["Michael D. Crawford" <crawford@goingware.com>]

My hard drive died today.  Fortunately I was backed up for the important stuff, 
but there are many less-important files I'd like to recover.

I have heard that if a hard drive's problem is the controller and not the 
mechanism, sometimes you can swap the controller board from an identical drive 
and recover your data.

It's a Quantum Viking II 9 GB LVD SCSI, (40 MB/sec SCSI transfer rate).  Can 
anyone give me a clue where I might find one?  Used would be OK, even with a 
dead mechanism if the controller board were OK.

Thanks,

Mike
