Can the circuitboard of a hard drive be swapped between identical drives?
I have an IBM SCSI 9.1 GB hard drive (DDYS-T09170 P/N 07N3220), and it throws up a "Start Unit Request Failed" error message on startup. The drive spins up normally. I contacted a data recovery service and was advised that it was most likely a firmware issue. So my idea is to get a new, identical drive and transfer the new circuit board over to the old drive and hope that it will become accessible again and I can get my data off the drive without spending hundreds of dollars on a data recovery service. Anybody ever tried this? Thoughts?

Just the externally visible circuit board that is screwed onto the drive housing. On mine, it looks easily removeable.
