Just out of curiosity...Out of those Maxtor's are any of them a 20GB model with a sort-of U shaped circuit board on the back?  
The reason I ask is that I have one out of an HP pc that the controller board died on.  If possible, I'd love to recover the data off it, but I haven't had any luck finding the right revision of circuit board <2702 in the bottom right hand corner of the board if you hold the drive so the IDE connection faces up>

Here's hoping

I thought only really old (under 500 MB) drives had the proper bearing for homemade spinners...
