Everything i've read about doing a controller board transplant says you 
need the exact model and revision. And even then it might not work 
because on some drives the bad sectors map is stored on the controller 
board, and if you switch boards they'll obviously have a different idea 
of what sectors on the disks are bad.

Good luck. A data recovery service might be the best bet, though it 
certainly wouldn't be the cheapest route.
