AI InnerDrive help needed



I just picked up a couple of AI InnerDrive 40 internal hard drives 
recently.  One of them had a few errors or it that were fixable and it is 
now running like a champ.  The other one will not even take a format.  It 
appears to have some serious I/O errors even though the self-test says 
OK.  What are the possibilities of finding a mechanism to replace the 
busted one in the drive/powersupply unit?  Do I need to find a 40 meg, or 
could I upgrade to an 80 or higher?  I'm assuming it is an IDE drive, 
correct?  I've heard of people replacing the mechanism with a SCSI drive 
and then hooking it up to a SCSI card.  Are there any instructions out 
there on how to do that?  Or, is there anybody that is good at repairing 
these things?

TIA,    Greg
